CHILD S.W.A.T. Team Costume

S.W.A.T. - The Special Forces of Police! Kids love to be the Good Guy, and coming out the winner in this costume is an age old favorite!
Customer Review: A great toy after Halloween
My son begged for this costume and he loved it--it is not durable nor are the toys quality (they are plastic) but he and his brother played with it all weekend! I like that the velcro does secure all the extra pieces quite well--we did not lose a single piece while out trick or treating-and the helmet was fun-but not big enough to strap on. Hence, the 4 star review.
Customer Review: CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP
I fail to understand why we, the public, continue to be charged more for products while the products are more and more poorly made! Save your money on this one. It is not only made with cheap material, it is also sized wrong. Irritated Mema

What does Halloween represent? better known as the eve of All Saints' Day. Halloween in Western countries is about ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and the supernatural.

In Britain, Halloween is associated with children playing 'Trick or Treat' a game where children dress up and visit neighbours' houses threatening to play practical jokes on the inhabitants if not rewarded with sweets or money. All harmless fun of course.

In recent years, the number of local events organised to "celebrate" Halloween has shot up. Also, merchandise is readily available and many families decorate their homes as they do at Christmas.

Where did this phenomenon come from anyway, the United States? We spoke to Kit Bennett from American website Amazing Moms who pleads guilty on all counts.

Kit says, "It's huge, I would say it's right up there with Christmas for kids. We as always have gone over the top," she said. However, Kit, herself a Grandmother and teacher said she has noticed a change in the United States and people have become more safety conscious.

"How we deal with it has changed. It's actually getting a little lower key. The kids love to dress up and have the candy but we don't trick or teat so much now. Our children go to shopping plazas now and go store to store to get candy. Many schools are no longer able to celebrate Halloween but they'll call it a Harvest Party."

Kit also told us that some children are banned from attending Halloween events and have accused other children of worshipping evil. Oh dear, this sounds like this yearly activity of fun is all becoming a bit too serious. She also went on to say that the event is becoming a big religious activity in the United States with some people not celebrating it for that reason alone.

However, she did want to point out that she and her family do spend time together on October 31st carving pumpkins and enjoying the whole social occasion.

The most popular Halloween costumes in the United States are a Princess costume for the girls and a Superhero for the boys - again different from the UK where it's a Witch or Dracula.

In the traditional sense Halloween, or Hallowe'en, is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31st. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses", carving Jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories and watching horror movies. It's also believed that Irish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century. Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Ireland, Puerto Rico, Japan, New Zealand, and occasionally in parts of Australia. Plus, in Sweden the All Saints' official holiday takes place on the first Saturday of November.

The most recognisable symbol is the carved pumpkin, lit by a candle inside, this is one of Halloween's most prominent symbols in America, and is commonly called a jack-o-lantern. Originating in Europe, these lanterns were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body containing the spirit and the knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to frighten off any superstitions. The name jack-o'-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the only light he had: a candle inside of a hollowed turnip.

Both red and white meat can be cooked on an infrared grill. In fact, fish and other types of meat will also turn out well on a grill that is powered by infrared technology. Infrared grills are some of the best and high quality grills that are available on the market today.

Infrared is a technology that has been used for commercial cooking for years. In fact, it has been used for decades and infrared grills have been utilized in restaurants and other eateries since the 1960s. These grills create juicy and tasting meals from any type of meat or fish. Since infrared is a technology that has been around for a while, it is no stranger to the world of cooking and fine cuisines. Many chefs actually prefer using an infrared appliance because of its fine cooking abilities. Infrared grills and barbeques offer cooking conveniences that other appliances that are in the same class cannot offer.

Such delectable pieces of meat can be cooked by just about anyone with the use of the right grill. Infrared barbecues offer shorter cooking times at higher temperatures. Most infrared grills cook in temperatures that range from 450-900 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures are the most consistent of any grill that is available on the market today and they help to create delicious meals and juicy cuts of meat. And the best part is that a good infrared grill won't flare, unlike standard gas or charcoal grills.

Infrared grills and barbecues have just recently started to make their way into the consumer based retail market. These grills are made to suit many different types of lifestyles. Models include indoor grills, outdoor barbecues and portable grills.

All of these types of infrared grills can look just like any other grill on the market; however, they are better in many ways. Infrared barbecues and grills offer a high quality construction that is usually stainless steel. These grills also have a large grilling space that offers an even temperature throughout. Besides a large grilling space these grills also have storage space, burners and other additions or accessories.

One of the downfalls of a great infrared grill is price. They can be very expensive. That is why these grills have only been used commercial eateries for that last few years. Despite their expensive price, discount grills can be found on the market today. These grills are often used or simply models that are a year or two old.

Finding the best infrared grill can be a difficult task. It is important to complete the right amount of research and understand the different models and sizes of grills that are available on the market today. After all a great infrared grill, whether it is for indoor or outdoor use is an investment and should be an educated decision. The highest quality infrared grills are an appliance that can be used for a long time.

Anne Clarke writes numerous articles for Web sites on gardening, biking, fashion, and home decor. Her background also includes running, yoga, and tattoos. For more of her useful information on infrared grilling visit Infrared Barbeque.

Little painted faces, pointy witch hats, two feet tall clowns, skeleton costumes - it's that time of year again - Halloween is here.

Tell the truth, when you rummage through the basket of your kids trick or treat candy are you checking to make sure it's safe or are you looking for your personal favorite candy bar to munch on?

Sometimes I think there is still a little bit of the child left in each of us. Who can forget the anticipation we all felt as Halloween approached. Don't you remember going out in the dark dressed up in weird costumes with your friends, and depending on your age maybe one parent lingering in the background? Don't you remember the tinge of fear mixed with a tingle of excitement?

Trick or Treat, Trick or Treat, I can still remember the well-intentioned taunt make to smiling parents of your friends and your neighbors. Then there were the nasty older kids who were only out to spoil everyone's fun and throw raw eggs that splattered on doorways and sidewalks. I wonder if they grew up to be bullies or patrons of some other form of anti social behavior.

Today there are also unfortunately the Kooks. The weirdo's who place razor blades in candy, who sneak up behind people and punch them and run off with their cherished possessions and rob them of their self-respect. I guess they are a product of the true state of terror we live in. No one is safe any more, not old people or little children, not the infirm or feeble, not the weakest amongst us, and especially unfortunately not on Halloween. And the worst is that there are terrorists lurking out there in every nook and cranny of our economic and social system waiting to take advantage of this era of our discontent.

The term Halloween (and its alternative rendering Hallowe'en) is shortened from All-hallow-even, as it is the eve of "All Hallows' Day", which is now also known as All Saints' Day. It was a day of religious festivities in various northern European Pagan traditions, until Popes Gregory III and Gregory IV moved the old Christian feast of All Saints' Day from May 13 (which had itself been the date of a pagan holiday, the Feast of the Lemures) to November1. In the ninth century, the Church measured the day as starting at sunset, in accordance with the Florentine calendar. Although All Saints' Day is now considered to occur one day after Halloween, the two holidays were, at that time, celebrated on the same day.
- Wikipedia

Today carved pumpkins called Jack-o'-lanterns are used to scare off evil spirits and for decorative purposes and the holiday has become popular as a children's event.

Isn't it time we all returned to some basic values and helped our children celebrate a holiday of treats and traditions? Isn't it time we tried to take the fear out of every day living for ourselves and for our kids? Isn't it time we looked inward to our personal clown and started to have some fun again? Why can't we just enjoy the moment?

Let's cherish our traditions. Let's spend some time with our kids. Let's bob for apples not problems. Let's have fun again. Let's give ourselves a treat and not trick ourselves into forgetting who we really are and what we stand for. Don't let a bunch of kooks and terror-nooks spook you. The guys behind the masks are the ones who are really scared.

Happy Halloween.

Most of us get lonely from time to time. Sometimes we get sad because we miss a particular person or wish we had someone to love us and share our lives.

For immediate relief, even in the middle of the night, it helps to get busy with a project.

A lot of times when we feel lonely for some reason we're reluctant to call old friends or new acquaintances, to go out, or invite people over. But if you wish to remove loneliness from your life, you will have to put in regular effort to communicate and be social. Make a commitment now that you will make a daily effort to improve your relationships.

Make a list of the important people in your life. Would you like to have better relationships with them? Then you need to put in regular effort. Call at least one person every day, or set aside quality time with your family. You might set up one night a week or month to have a meal with family you dont live with. Make it a goal to have about a dozen most important people in your life. If you dont have that many, that is not unusual. But start rekindling old relationships and make an effort to find some new friends you can spend time with. Be good to your friends and relatives with a kind words and offering help. Respecting what others want will help you to improve your relationships.

Remember that you are always loved. Sometimes the people we want to spend time with are not available at this time, but that doesnt mean they dont care for us.

Make room in your life for people. If you want to attract a mate, make physical space in your home for someone to move in. Make room for friends to come over and do things or share a meal. Make time in your schedule to date and socialize. Make room in your opinions and communication for sharing with others.

The term foam dance party is really confusing to a lot of people. What is it? Why would someone want to do play in foam? Where can you find one?

A foam dance party can be simple with foam pouring out of a machine into your back yard. You can also contain the foam in an inflatable pit or you can get really elaborate and add black lights disco balls and loud music. And if you wonder why everyone likes them? Just remember how fun it was to play in a bubble bath when you were a child. And then multiply that feeling again and again. Not only is it fun to be in the foambut watching the bubbles float up through the sky is an entertaining experience.

In the past you could find foam dance parties at colleges but they are becoming more and more popular each year for the average backyard party. Of course there are always a lot of questions when the subject of the foam party comes up. Ill try to answer some of them here:

• The foam is a specialty foam although you can actually use baby shampoo if you dont have foam available.
• Foam Machines and Pits can be found at Specialty Party Rental Companies
• If youre more of a DIY type person.you can find instructions for building your own foam machine on the internet. They are fairly simple to make.
• Nopeyoure not supposed to be naked. Clothing is good!
• Foam parties can work for all ages. You can adjust the amount of foam thats filling the area to meet the needs of your guests.

Generally youll want to have your event outside and for safetys sake youll need an area that isnt slippery when its wet. Some inflatable foam pits have vinyl bottoms but most are just inflatable retaining walls.

If you rent equipment the cost for the parties generally runs from $300-$2000.00 depending on the amount of foam needed and the length of time for your event. This year youll probably see foam parties at Company Picnics, Birthday Parties, College Events, Fundraising parties and festivals.

And Yes.if youre looking for some Good Clean Fun, a foam party is just what you need!

Are you looking for something to spice up your next event? Do you want to learn more about foam dance parties? Call Cheryl Pierce and PartyZone Rentals at 317-838-9408. Or visit the website:

Did you ever watch a cockroach race? It's amazing how after you open up the gates those little things start running all over the place as if their heads were on fire and they were looking for a fountain of water to dive into, not realizing that they'd be jumping to their deaths. Well, that's kind of what it's like to do Christmas shopping. Let's face it, we all wait until the last minute. It's December 24 and suddenly we realize that we have 100 gifts to get and 1 hour to get them. What on Earth do we do?

Christmas shopping madness. And make no mistake about it, madness is exactly what it is. The lines at the malls at the checkout counters go around in circles multiple times. The parking lots are so stuffed that you need to put your car in another time zone. You'll get more exercise walking to the store than you got all year doing your food shopping. The rudeness borders on the criminal. And if all that isn't bad enough, you've got cosmetic girls stationed five feet apart, all trying to sell you the latest perfume, whether you're male or female, old or not even old enough to shave. Doesn't matter. There's money to be made.

But believe it or not, there is a way to avoid all this. Christmas shopping doesn't have to be an adventure in jungle warfare. You don't need to take your life in your hands on the roads or in the stores. There is a better way. Okay, so just what is it? When is the best time to do your Christmas shopping? Are there alternatives to trekking out to the malls?

The best time to do your Christmas shopping is right after Thanksgiving, but not the very next day. Most stores will have their first Christmas sales right after Thanksgiving and the sales usually last for the whole weekend; Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The day right after Thanksgiving is as bad as Christmas Eve. Everybody is running out to get those great deals. But by Saturday, or even Sunday, the rush has died down considerably and you can get the same deals without too much hassle. This way you save money and at the same time beat the crowds.

If saving money isn't a priority and you really want to have empty stores to go to, your best shopping times are between December 1 and December 15. You're sure to find that you're about the only one in the store at this time. The roads are pretty clear too.

What if you don't want to go out shopping at all? No problem. Today, with the Internet being what it is, you can do your Christmas shopping online. Many companies even have special delivery terms where they promise that you'll have your order before Christmas. Some even offer next day shipping for a very reasonable fee.

Shopping at Christmas time doesn't have to be a royal pain in the neck. With a little planning and a lot of alternatives, Christmas shopping can actually be an enjoyable experience.

That's until you get the credit card bill in the mail.

Candy Man Adult Halloween Costume Size 42 Medium

Candy Man Adult Halloween Costume Size 42 Medium includes: Hat, jacket, pants and vest with attached tie.

It's no secret that throwing a birthday party is an expensive endeavor. You've got the food, entertainment, decorations, and possibly even a party hall!

The cost of your invitations can be staggering. It seems like every other week the price of postage goes up! If your guest list is sizable you can easily pay over a hundred dollars in postage alone! Then you've got the cost of the actual invitations themselves to think about.

Fortunately there are ways to announce your birthday kid's party without spending buckets of money. Here's a few ideas to get you started!

Send an E-Card
An e-card is an electronic greeting that is usually animated and has some music or sound effects added. You can customize them with your own message. There are many companies online that provide this service, but the most notable is Blue Mountain Arts. E-card's are a great way to announce your kids birthday party at little or no cost.

Use Social Networking Sites like MySpace and Facebook
Most social networking sites have features that allow you to announce parties and events. You can use this to announce your child's birthday party without spending a penny! Best of all, you can use these site to easily follow up with everyone closer to the party date!

Make Your Own Invitations Instead of Purchasing Them
If you do opt to send out paper invitations, consider making them yourself instead of purchasing them from the party store. Not only will you spend less money, but the invitations will have a sense of authenticity about them that you can't buy at any price!

Hand Deliver Every Invitation You Can
Many of these invitations are probably going out to family members or other folks you encounter frequently. If you can save on postage by hand delivering the invitation yourself, do it! Keep these invitations in your car at all times so you always have them ready at a moments notice!

If All Else Fails, Send an Email or Text message Blast
This is the least personable of your options, but it is cheap. If you need to invite a lot of people to the party inexpensively and you don't have a lot of time, this is a viable option. Just make sure you follow up to make sure a spam filter didn't block your invitation.

Remember, your ultimate goal is to make the birthday party a positive experience for your child. Use your budget for things like decorations, food, and entertainment. The invitations don't directly affect your child's enjoyment of the party, so save as much money on them as you can.

Next, check out the fantastic 12 Step Guide over at http://www.birthdaypartyplan.com. It contains more information about birthday party planning, including information about birthday party invitations!

Child's Robot Halloween Costume (Size: Small 4-6)

Halloween is coming! Have you picked out your costume? And more importantly have you picked out Halloween costumes for your kids? Time is running out!

I remember when I was a kid -- and yes it was a long time ago -- we frequently made costumes, but there were store-bought costumes available even then. The big difference that I've noted is that the quality and variety of costumes has expanded significantly. This coincides with the increase in the amount of buzz that Halloween gets these days.

Some people object to Halloween mostly on religious grounds. They feel it promotes a belief in satanic figures and such. As for me, I tend to think of it as a time when kids and adults can dress up in silly costumes -- and sometimes scary costumes -- and get free candy. You know, sort of a dentists dream!

Costumes popular with kids frequently center around movies and TV shows. This year will probably be no different. WIth summer blockbuster release of movies like Batman: The Dark Knight, Ironman, Speed Racer, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, The Hulk, Wall-E, Hellboy, The Mummy, and Star Wars: Clone Wars, you can be sure all those characters will be on the radar for kids' costumes. But don't forget perennial favorites like Superman, Supergirl, Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Robin, Spider Man, and all the Disney princesses such as Ariel The Little Mermaid, Pocahontas, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Mulan, Jasmine, Snow White, Belle.

Cartoon and book characters such as Sponge Bob Squarepants, Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger are favorites of the younger set.

Classic costumes such as Robin Hood, firemen, policemen, and others may appeal to certain youngsters.

For adults, the themes are many and some are naughty. And, of course, since it's the political season I'm sure John McCain and Barack Obama will be frequent visitors to Halloween parties. Old-timers may still come as Richard Nixon or Lyndon Johnson - they'll just have to explain who they are to the generation x-ers.

Whatever your fancy you can probably find a costume these days.

But, a word of warning -- or maybe just a friendly reminder -- the earlier you shop the better your selection in variety and sizes!

There is something magical about rainbow colors, those wonderful jewel bright colours that arch across the sky or the iridescent glow from the shimmer of oil on water. The fascination of this wonder of nature is reproduced in the colours of Carnival glass and is a clue to the popularity of this style of collectible range and the reason for Carnival glass value.

Iridescent glass was made as early as Roman times but more readily known is the famous hand made glass produced by Tiffany later part of the 1800s. The beautiful glowing colours of this fine glass brightened up to dark homes of the Edwardian era but Tiffany's pieces were of a cost that put them beyond the reach of the ordinary person. The first iridized glass to be produced commercially was made by the Fenton brothers in Virginia in the USA in 1907. They called this new style of art glass "Venetian Art" but other names included poor man's Tiffany, and lustre glass. Among early styles of patterns produced by Fenton's were Water lily, Butterfly and Berries and Wreath of Roses, vases. Carnival glass is formed by a process of pressing glass into a mold while it is still in its molten state. While still hot, the glass item, now having taken the shape of the mold, is removed and a coating of metallic salts is sprayed on to it. This gives the surface its glowing rainbow like iridescence. The quality of sheen is one of the factors which can determine the value of a piece as is the clarity of the pattern which can vary even when produced in the same mold.

When the glass began to lose its early popularity and to be given away as prizes for carnival stalls then it acquired the name Carnival Glass. However this was after the time known as the classic era when the glass was able to be made cheaply enough for this to be possible. This style of glass is still in production today but Carnival glass value is dependent on when it was produced. Designs produced in the classic era being of higher value than that produced from about 1960 and identifying the difference between these two types can be difficult.

The value of this glass today varies, sometimes quite drastically. Approximately 2000 styles of pattern of Carnival glass have been made which makes giving a definite value to a particular piece difficult. Carnival glass value will depend upon maker, colour, design, and the date of make, its condition and where it's being offered for sale. Carnival glass value is also subject to other factors specific to the collector market. It is very collectible and its range is so widespread that the value on the day, as with all collectible items, is dependent on who is looking for that particular design and colour and what they will pay for it. Carnival glass value is very much a movable feast.

Sometimes you just get stuck! You may be a writer that has writer's block, or perhaps you are stumped at your job that you go to everyday. It happens to the best of us; sometimes you just have so much going on in your head that you just can't think. You could be making a recipe that you've made a million times before but stand blankly staring in your kitchen as you simply can't remember the next ingredient.

Newborn Baby Pea in The Pod Halloween Costume, 0-6 Months

Customer Review: Cheap
This costume was awful. Thank God we had a backup costume. The peas tear off easy and the fabric was very itchy. I hightly don't recomend this for any baby.
Customer Review: Pea Pod
I bought this for my 2 month old and he looked really cute in it. It is made as well as I would think a costume is. I would recommend this for very little ones(under 6 months) I don't think a baby over that could stand to be in it. When I got this it was size 0-9 months in size...

Star Wars is an excellent choice for Halloween costumes. Kids absolutely love the Star Wars universe, and the new Clone Wars film has only served to remind them of how cool it would be if they were Luke, Darth Vader, Princess Leia, Princess Amidala, Yoda or any number of other great Star Wars characters. Playing out their dreams of being swashbuckling heroes like Hans Solo, or Jedi masters like Yoda, the potential for fun is limitless.

Character Choices for a Star Wars Halloween Costume

Popular character choices from Star Wars include Yoda, the funny looking little green alien who is the head of the Jedi council and the most powerful Jedi of all; Princess Leia, the government official who gets involved in all kinds of adventures along with her brother Luke Skywalker who is the hero of the original three films and defeated the evil Emperor.

Other choices for a more evil look are Jabba the Hutt, the giant space slug who runs a mafia; Darth Vader, the menacing man in black who is always masked and holds some of the most dangerous powers; and the young Anakin Skywalker who is corrupted during his childhood by the forces of evil and grows up into Darth Vader.

All of these characters would be excellent costume choices, as they have distinctive designs and are instantly recognisable. I have found some great Star Wars costumes available for these popular characters online, and they are a great choice for a Halloween or any fancy dress party.

Star Wars Halloween Costumes Available

There are some excellent choices for purchase online including:

• A complete Hans Solo costume which includes boots, trousers, a shirt, and waistcoat
• A Yoda costume which includes his brown and green robes, and in some cases a mask of Yoda's head
• A Darth Vader costume with full black jumpsuit and attached boots, a cape, and the trademark mask.
• The Princess Leia costumes come with the all-white dress and belt which she wears, as well as a wig mimicking her unusual hair-style.
• A Chewbacca outfit comes with a top and trousers which have the image of fur printed onto them, as well as a mask of the creature's face.

Important Costume Accessories

Costumes should include all the important icons which make each character so distinct. Taking a few examples from those listed, this means that Yoda needs to have green skin and be old-looking, and should have stubby green feet (no shoes). Like all the Jedi he carries a lightsabre, something essential also to Darth Vader, Anakin, and Luke Skywalker. Dressing as Darth Vader will require the very distinctive helmet and mask worn at all times. Black gloves would also be necessary to complete the look. Going as Hans Solo you would need to carry the laser hand-gun which he has with him at all times. Chewbacca should carry some sort of crossbow-like weapon, whilst Princess Leia may also carry a laser pistol similar to Hans Solo.

With all of these features in place the costumes should look fantastic, and everyone will have a great time pretending to be their favourite characters from the films!

Greek Goddess Costume Adult

Be the star of the party with this Greek Goddess Costume!
Customer Review: Costume
The Costume was not in a good condition and it was smelling. For the same price I could have get a new and unused product.

Would Christmas be "complete" if Santa didn't bring gifts and candies? Honestly, I don't think so. In fact, if he came empty handed your child might run away instead of going to him. As this is a season of eating, dancing and celebrating - so is the Halloween holiday. I am sure we all crave for those moments and Halloween candy just reminds us of this amazing and incredible moments of celebrations.

History has it that Halloween dates back centuries ago in the history of Romans Pomona day through Celtic festival of Samhain to the Christian days of soul and saints. Halloween candies were actually made in the memory of Celt gala of new year. Celt worshiped nature, had many gods and celebrated new year on 1st November, which is the remembrance of Halloween holidays.

Apart from candies made in various shapes such as corns, ghosts, fingers, toes, ears, fangs, lips etc different aspects from history such as Pomona days apples, nuts, harvests from the festival of Samhain's black cat, evil spirits, death, and magic are also depicted. Skeletons, ghosts and skulls from all saints and souls days are also included and influences this holiday.

Halloween candies are mostly shaped like ghosts e.g frightening lollipops with big teeth and scary eyes so as to increase the delight of Samhain's fiesta. However, their taste is definitely not scary considering they're made of butter chocolates, cream blended with vivid flavors, honey, peanuts, dry fruits etc. Nevertheless, you can find them in numerous varieties such as butter finger popcorn balls, Madcaps, candy corn fudge, black cat fudge and many more.

Pink Leopard Child Costume

The Purrty Kitty costume includes: crushed velvet dress with pink fur trim and attached crinonine and tale, pink fur leg warmers, ears, and black collar with bell.

Halloween remains to be one of the best occasions of the year for kids and kids-at-heart. When else can you go out in your silliest costume and be rewarded for it by getting sweet treats? In many places, October 31 has also become the preferred date to throw a big Halloween costume party, where you can mingle with friends and laugh and marvel at each others creativity.

According to Wikipedia, the first celebration of Halloween occurred during the ancient times. This date is believed to mark the end of harvest season and the beginning of another year (according to Celtic tradition). The festival coincides with meticulous examination of the crops stored for the long winter months ahead. During those days, damaged crops or poor yield was attributed to the malevolent activity of dead souls. Thus, the ancient people built bonfires to scare these souls away. They would also disguise themselves as ghosts and creatures of the night to "fool" or please the bad spirits.

With the advent of rational thought, it seems hard to believe that the dead truly walks among the living for one night only. These days, Halloween may coincide with the commemoration of departed souls (for some religions) or just a great occasion to have fun.

It is never bad to get into the spirit of Halloween yourself by putting up some decorations around your home or preparing Halloween-themed food. And what better dessert can you serve your guests other than beautifully-created and delicious cupcakes? The whole cupcake is your canvas, so get your tools and keep these tips in mind to create your own Halloween Cupcake!

Tips:

• Remember that the whole cupcake is your canvas. You can cut the cupcake into round-ish shapes and use the power of food coloring and piping to create a little jack-o-lantern cupcake.
• By using other edible props, you can create a cupcake that looks like a daddy longlegs spider. Purchase a couple of thin licorice sticks and candies that look like eyes (or M&M's can be fine). Put the candies on the surface of the cupcake and stick 4 licorice sticks to each side. Bend the sticks a bit so that it will imitate bent spider legs.
• You can also make pumpkin-flavored cupcakes to celebrate the occasion. Just add some cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and mashed pumpkin to your basic cupcake mixture. Adjust the measurements of these new ingredients according to taste.

Halloween is just around the corner! Make this Halloween especially memorable by making themed cupcakes. Discover how easy it is to Make Your Own Cupcakes for Halloween with simple tips and great advice.

In these days, many people like tracing their roots, for it can not only enable them to know their ancestors and relatives, but also can bring to them great satisfaction and pleasure. Many people in these days can not resist the magnetic lures of genealogy.

Knowing one's roots can be a personally rewarding experience. In the process of tracing the roots, you can know well the family history and stories of the relatives, which grant you a treasure of opportunities to learn about their experiences, loves, skills, and preferences. Through unfolding the histories of the family, a family's culture and tradition can be studied in its fullest meaning. In addition, it can strengthen the solidarity of the family members.

Searching for the roots is not easy. It requires strong dedication and longing to unfold the past is necessary. There must be a deep commitment and sense of purpose, which must not diminish until the final lead has obviously been exhausted. After you finish, you will enjoy a sense of fulfillment and you may feel that your ancestors is just around you. Maybe a sense of disappointment will come to you, for so many remains unknown, but you want to know more.

Tracing the roots indeed gives you the sense of fulfillment and pleasure, but at the same time, you should realize that it may disrupt your comfortable and regular routines. In order to get enough information, you must spend much time talking with your relatives, listening to family stories and searching through old records, which may give you some answers. Moreover, you have to submerge yourself in libraries.

People who seek their roots through genealogy say the search is a lot of work, but also a lot of fun. Many people say it also helps them learn more about history. Their search not only brings history to life by making it more personal. It also gives them a better understanding of their family's place in history. And it gives them a better understanding of themselves.

Have you started your holiday shopping? What are you going to get for that hard to please person on your list?

Haven't even begun? Well, you're not alone.

With only a few more weeks left, now is the time to get serious about your gift list. But, how are you supposed to come up with something original once again for someone who has been on your list for years and years?

You've already done the hot air balloon ride that you thought would be such a wonderful idea for your parents. Of course, ten years later they did admit to you that they were not quite brave enough to actually get in the basket. So, lo and behold, another fabulous gift idea - or what you thought was a fabulous and unique gift-was not used and the money was wasted.

How about the incredible gift basket you got for Uncle Bill two years ago? It had at least ten kinds of nuts in it. Oops, you didn't know he was allergic to nuts, did you?

That homemade fruitcake didn't go over very well, did it? The dog wouldn't even eat it.

And, how about that person - or most of the people on your list-who seem to already have absolutely everything they could possibly need or want?

So, what ARE you going to do? Procrastinating truly is NOT going to help. The problem will only get bigger.

How about you step back from the commercialized version of the holidays and instead really think about what the holidays mean to you and how you can make them just a little more meaningful for your family and friends. This year, make personalized gifts, something made by you specifically for your family, friends, relatives or teachers.

The Internet is full of free personalized gift ideas like the ones on this site. You can also go to Google and just type in "free personalized gift idea" or "free personalized gift ideas for (fill in the blank)".

Take a few minutes to look online. Not only will you be pleasantly surprised at the many options you'll find, you'll also feel great when you see the look on the face of the people you give handmade, personalized gifts to. Especially in today's fast paced world, a homemade heartfelt gift DOES mean a lot.

Marie Stark is a mom who knows how tough it can be to come up with the perfect gift for everyone. If you're still looking for a gift for Dad, check out this neat idea at 15 Reasons I Love My Dad.

CHILD S.W.A.T. Team Costume

S.W.A.T. - The Special Forces of Police! Kids love to be the Good Guy, and coming out the winner in this costume is an age old favorite!
Customer Review: A great toy after Halloween
My son begged for this costume and he loved it--it is not durable nor are the toys quality (they are plastic) but he and his brother played with it all weekend! I like that the velcro does secure all the extra pieces quite well--we did not lose a single piece while out trick or treating-and the helmet was fun-but not big enough to strap on. Hence, the 4 star review.
Customer Review: CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP
I fail to understand why we, the public, continue to be charged more for products while the products are more and more poorly made! Save your money on this one. It is not only made with cheap material, it is also sized wrong. Irritated Mema

Batman is back, and he's bigger and better than ever. The new series of films featuring the caped crusader himself has seen countless new fans flock to his adventures in print, but with the world of comics being such a daunting prospect to a newcomer, it is easy to get stuck on what to read first. There are many decades worth of Batman reading to be enjoyed, but what are the moist important stories? What has had a lasting impact on the character and his mythos outside of the medium of the big screen? Here we take a look at ten essential titles in the Batman pantheon

THE KILLING JOKE

Widely considered to be the finest Batman story ever created, The Killing Joke was written by comics legend Alan Moore and featured art from Brian Bolland. Offering a possible origin for the character of the Joker, it is highly regarded as pone of the finest graphic novels ever published, and also was the basis for some of the storyline in The Dark Knight.

KNIGHTFALL VOLUMES 1-3

This notorious three volume tale tells the story of Batman's protg, Azrael, taking over the mantle of Batman when Bruce Wayne's back is broken by the murderous Bane. Azrael, as a new batman, goes too far and ends up insane, leaving it up to Bruce to work himself back to health and face him down in a clash of the batmen. A classic.

HUSH VOLUMES 1 AND 2

A very strong mystery story involving the enigmatic killer Hush, this two-book story was one of the biggest hits in recent years for DC comics. Hush is intent on Sabotaging Batman's reputation. A thrilling story, told with style.

A DEATH IN THE FAMILY

A classic of 1980s Batman, and one of the Milestones in modern comics history. The Joker succeeds in killing Robin, who dies in Batman's arms, and thus the chase is on for vengeance. But will batman actually take the Joker's life?

ARKHAM ASYLUM

An extremely disturbing piece of graphic literature, Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth was written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by the renowned Dave McKean. Telling the stories of the inmates of the titular asylum as they take the place over and stage a siege, it has been a strong seller ever since its release in 1989.

THE LONG HALLOWEEN

By Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale, The Long Halloween features the Falcone character that was seen in the film Batman Begins, and follows his story to its comics conclusion. It also covers the transition of Batman's foes from mobsters and gangsters to actual supervillains in detail.

DARK VICTORY

From comics luminaries Jeph Loeb and Time Sale comes this 14 issue tale (Brought together into a much loved graphic novel), is the sequel to The Long Halloween. Featuring Two-face, this is a noir-ish murder mystery following Batman on the trail of a serial killer who is offing police officers in Gotham.

WAR GAMES

This is an epic story told over three volumes, which crossed over the whole family of Batman related DC comics titles. A tale of batman trying to end a vicious gang war, it one of the most hard-hitting Batman stories of recent years.

BRUCE WAYNE: MURDERER?

When Bruce discovers the dead body of his girlfriend, Vesper Fairchild, in Wayne Manor, the police arrive and charge him with her murder! The other Batman characters are unable to work out the mystery, and thus Bruce breaks out of jail and vows to just live as Batman until the case is solved.

BRUCE WAYNE: FUGITIVE

The story that began with Bruce Wayne: Murderer concludes with a frantic tale of Batman and his colleagues piecing the facts together and discovering a conspiracy to discredit him forever as a murderer, with a surprising culprit behind the whole thing...

These are amongst the most seminal works of the Batman's adventures in comics, and are a must for the bookshelf of any fan of the character or the medium. Captured in these pages is the essence of one of the most recognizable icons in all of popular culture. With more feature films on the way in this new series, there seems to be no stopping the Dark Knight in his battle against crime. This is a good thing, as we always need a hero, even one with so many troubles.

As the Christmas season approaches, we get excited and energized to decorate our home inside and out with lights, bulbs, wreaths, evergreen, candles, garland, and Christmas trees. We enjoy the lights that adorn our home all throughout the Holidays. At the end of the Holiday season though, most people dread the task of dismantling all of the decorations and storing them away until the next year. Why not use keep your Christmas lights up year round?

The winter months following the holidays can be a bit of a let down after visiting with loved ones, enjoying delicious foods and hot drinks, and having the beautiful colors of lights and decorations surrounding us over the holidays. The months of January, February and March can be rather dreary as far as the weather is concerned, so why not bring warmth and light to your home both inside and outside with the mini lights you bought for December?

A fireplace mantel always looks beautiful adorned with white mini lights or white LED Christmas lights, no matter what the season. These lights could be used to decorate for holidays throughout the year simply by changing out the themed decorations around the lights. For the times in between, for a neutral theme, simply use photographs of family, pottery, vases, mirrors, or candles along with the mini LED light sets.

Following the holidays, use white mini LED light sets throughout the house to bring warmth and an inviting glow to every room.

• Bedrooms look great with mirrors outlined with white mini lights
• The dining room sideboard or hutch is softly illuminated using our battery operated mini lights or mini LED light sets
• Illuminate the tops of your kitchen cabinets and highlight your favorite collection of collector items, dishes, pottery, or wrought iron pieces using mini LED light sets
• Bathrooms are an ideal place to rejuvenate. Our mini light sets are perfect for outlining your mirror and creating an atmosphere of relaxation.
• Artificial trees, topiaries, and antique trunks are the perfect canvases for using lights of your choosing in any room, foyer, or hallway of the house.
• Don't forget the basement or game room. Use our larger C6, C7, or even C9 light sets to outline the ceiling of the finished basement, game room, billiard room, or home theatre.
• Use C7 and C9 bulbs and cords outside on shrubs, trees, porches, outbuildings, walkways, and gardens for year round illumination.

Use mini light sets in every color to celebrate holidays throughout the year. Highlight red lights for Valentine's and Sweetest Day, use yellow, pink, purple, and green lights for Easter, and green for St. Patrick's Day. Our multi-color lights are perfect for birthdays, cookouts, family reunions, or Mardi Gras parties.

Instead of dreading the end of the holiday season, make the transition into the winter months much easier and less labor intensive by using your light sets all year round. These are just a few ways to bring light to the rooms of your home for year round sparkle.

Shellie Gardner, owner of Christmas Light Source, loves Christmas Lights and enjoys finding new ways to use them all year.

Evil Jester Costume Adult

Includes a double knit polyester shirt and matching pants, waist sash, headpiece and mask. Available in adult sizes Medium and Large.
Customer Review: Not quite like the photo in advertisement (as usual)
My main reason for returning this costume was the mask & headpiece. The mask is NOT white as shown, but is a "dingy yellowish" white that looks awful with the red/black costume. A white mask like the one pictured would have looked excellent in contrast to the red/black. The headpiece doesn't stay in place, especially the "points" on top - they flip flop all over the place due to the design and being VERY sparingly stuffed with polyfill. The little plastic skulls on the ends of them are too heavy and weigh them down (design flaw). Also, be aware that the black gloves are not included. I already knew this prior to purchasing, but just wanted to make a note of it for those who weren't aware of it.
Customer Review: Cheap
Very cheap. The head part kept falling over. Don't buy unless you want to be annoyed. Vendor was great! Arrive quickly.

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.

If youd like some variety, something a little different, for your Halloween treating this year, consider these ideas:

1. McDonald's coupons. What child doesn't like McDonald's...enough said.

2. One older couple in our neighborhood gave out an unusual treat. They decorated their livingroom spookily and took a polaroid snapshot of each child posed in front of the decorations. The picture was the treat. Would you be surprised to learn the kids lined up down the sidewalk? It became so popular we neighbor parents contributed monetarily to their film packs. Note: this couple took great care to ensure children's safety and also to protect their own reputations. Their livingroom was located immediately off a large foyer. They kept their front door wide open. Their triple front window curtains were left open with bright lighting so nothing could be construed as improper. Finally, since a polaroid camera was used, no pictures were retained.

3. Treats from Oriental Trading Company. Instead of sugar decay, how about inexpensive toys instead? Yo-yo's, little dolls, funny eraser heads, the catalog and online store has lots of variety to select.

4. Perhaps in conjunction with an Oriental Trading Company purchase, set up a "duckie pond" similar to a county fair booth. Decide on groups of inexpensive prizes and number them - group 1, group 2, and so on. Get several little plastic duckies. With a permanent marker, write numbers on the bottom of the duckies to correspond with your prize groups. Have several numbers of the most inexpensive group, and only 1 or 2 special prizes of more value. Fill some type of large container with water and set the duckies afloat. If you're handy with dry ice, this would be a perfect touch for a Halloween duckie pond.

It can be just as fun to stay home and treat the little ones arriving at your door. By the way, will you greet them with treatsin a costume yourself?

Excellent, the costume arrived on time, it was exactly what I ordered, made a great costume.

1. Reduce owners pay to the extent they are receiving only what is necessary to live on - necessary means necessary - no fancy car payments and huge mortgages - the owner should be unloading these Unnecessary expenses.In reality, the owner should be the hardest hit here.If the owner has money in the bank to survive on, taking zero pay is a great option just to save one persons job.This is a temporary situation and we have to do what it takes to help our community get out of this recession.

2. Reduce product prices and take less of a profit - this will all depend on how greedy the owner is.At this time, we have to reduce prices to keep consumers spending.We all have to do our part. Our shop has reduced prices up to 80% and we give huge incentives for buying in bulk. We must keep the consumer from hording their money out of fear and encourage them to spend on fantasy products and products that make them smile.Let's keep our community from entering a deep depression state.

3. Review all expenses and eliminate fluff expenses - we all know what these are - eliminate them.

4. Create jobs if possible - have you had projects on the back burner for awhile that you know really should get done?Well, now is a good time to create a job for someone willing to do the work at a reasonable pay rate.These astronomical pay rates of the late 90's and early 2000's put stars in job seekers eyes, but that was not reality.This is reality.Your work is worth what others will pay for it.

5. Before laying anyone off, discuss across the board pay cuts - bring the company together - you are a working community - see what you can do to help each other, but do NOT create job LOSS.This does no-one any good.Find ways to keep the employees employed and if you really can't, then do what you can to help them find another job.Pretend they are your closest friend or family member in need and treat them the same way.

6. And for a bonus, number 6 is contribute more to a local charity.During these times, people tend to stop their charitable donations.It doesn't have to be money that you donate, it can be an hour of your time here or there.This one isn't just for the small business owner - everyone can do their part here and give their time, their material possessions,and their money to a good cause.

So there you have it, 6 - not 5 - things you can do to help your community out of this recession.Don't wait for a bailout from the government, these will not fix everything.We need to resolve this from the ground up.The government will do its' part, but you need to do yours as well.

Halloween is one of the most thrilling holidays of the year for many children as well as fun-loving adults. One of the most ultimate joys for young and old is decorating your home for Halloween. You can do it easily, by allowing your imagination lead the way and a good deal can be created within a tight budget, if needed. Pay close attention on how to decorate for the ultimate Halloween.

When you have children, you can use all those class Halloween projects. You can simply hang them about or even make a Halloween tree, similar to a Christmas or Easter tree. You can use construction paper for making jack-o-lanterns, bats, cats, witches, spiders and other ghoulish decorations to place around the house. Once they have created their paper decorations, use tape and sting to attach them for hanging.

Spooky sounds are wonderful for setting the mood. You might want to purchase a Halloween CD or make your own, using a tape recorder.

Lighting is essential for setting a Halloween atmosphere. You can use candles and jack-o-lanterns, however, do be sure to practice fire safety. You can use some of those plastic Christmas candles, either using the orange bulbs, or other colored lights, you can always cover the bottom with construction paper, aluminum foil or paint them. Black lights strategically placed adds an eerie feeling.

Making a Halloween dummy is simple and fun, by using some old clothes, boots a hat and some stuffing. Pose the dummy inside or out for the trick or treating children to see, they love taking a close up peek at such Halloween decorations. You might also consider some spider webs and spiders to hang out at your home as well during Halloween.

When decorating your yard for Halloween, you might want to consider allowing the grass to grow which will add to the appearance of the house being abandoned, then gather up some old looking wooden planks write some scary names upon them and then place them around the yard as grave markers. While preparing the graves, you might like to place a bit of dirt there as well to give it more of an appearance of being a grave, some people may consider using fertilizer to do this, however, fertilizer will actually burn the grass beneath it when there it is more than the grass actually needs.

Another interesting idea, if you have enough yard space, is to plant a corn maze, when the time is right, and then allow the corn to stand in place during Halloween, when the corn should already have begun to dry out, which provides a very scary appearance, not to mention that the rustling of the dried cornstalks when the wind blows adds that extra creepy sounds while traveling through a corn maze. If you decide to plant a corn maze to use during Halloween, you might consider also planting some well placed costumed individuals to hide within the maze, to scare some of the people traveling through the maze. However, you may want to try to be too scary when entertaining children and older people, so as not to upset anyone to badly.

Another great idea for decorating your yard for a Halloween party is to set up a bonfire and perhaps an effigy or two. Imagine tossing Freddie Kruger into the fire, or perhaps Jason or Michael. It's all in fun and it is the season! Have a blast getting ready for your Ultimate Halloween.

Hannah Montana costumes are expected to be the top choice for tween girls this year, just like last year. However, for many the economy this year has put a bit of a damper on how much we can actually afford to spend on one days outfit. Although many prices for outfits are less expensive this year than previous years and some have already been put on sale, scrounging up thirty to fifty dollars for one days wear may be out of the question for many families.

You know that you don't want to disappoint your daughter as she has been waiting months to pretend that she is Hannah Montana, so what can you do?

Who says that her outfit can only be worn one day? I'm not just talking about letting her show off her cool new look the days right before and right after Halloween, I'm saying make several plans to fit in her outfit during the next year.

There are other occasions during the year that your daughter can be Miley Cyrus' alternate persona. Let us explore a few ideas.

• Girls love sleepovers. When your daughter plans a sleepover for her best friends have a "come as your favorite person" themed party. This way all the girls can dress up and put together a new outfit or they can all wear the outfit that they wore on Halloween. It doesn't have to be fancy get together, just serve the usual chips and snacks that they love. However, it does put a new spin on their get together and will add a bit of extra excitement.
• Have you thought about a themed birthday party? You can base the entire party about Hannah Montana by having themed party supplies like plates, cups and invitations. Your daughters friends can all come dressed up as Hannah or they can dress as their favorite pop star and take turns singing their favorite songs. You can purchase inexpensive small gifts like lip gloss or party favors and let the girls have a singing competition where each girl wins some type of a prize.
• If your family dines out, let your daughter wear her costume. You can change the look a bit by not having her wear the wig that may have come with her costume and possibly let her wear pants or jeans instead of the leggings or skirt that came with the outfit. This will give the outfit a new look, yet she will still feel very special.

These are just a few ideas off the top of my head. I know that if you think about it, you can probably come up with many more. This way you stretch your budget a bit yet you still can become a star in your daughters eyes. Every time she wears her Hannah Montana costume, she will be smiling from ear to ear and will make the cost per use, less. This will make both of you very happy.
