Friday The 13TH Classic Halloween Horror Film Movie Retro Basic Adult Black T-Shirt

A well-planned party seems to run flawlessly. Drinks flow, food is served and cleared away, and there never seems to be any mess! Creating a smooth-running catered event is more than just arriving with food and drink. There is a fair bit of science behind a fabulous party! When a caterer asks you a lot of questions before giving you a full estimate, it is because they are trying to determine all the variables in the "party equation." This way, they can determine the perfect menu and amount of items needed to send to your party to make your event a success!

Here are some things to keep in mind.

Budget

This might seem daunting, but it is the most important first step in creating your menu. Have some sort of budget in mind before approaching your caterer. Menus come in all price ranges and knowing your budget will help your caterer fit a menu to your event.

Buffet vs. Plated Dinner

A buffet or food stations are typically less expensive than a sit down dinner, but this depends on the menu choices and the level of service required. Food can be served cold, hot in chafing dishes or prepared on site by station Chefs. Sit-down dinners require having Chefs on site to prepare and plate your meal as well as additional staff to serve all of your guests at the same time. The food for plated meals requires one or more ovens on site to ensure that all of the food is served hot and in a timely manner

Cocktail Reception

Cocktail receptions are perfect for any occasion, at any time of the day. Bite sized hors d'oeuvres and elegant platters can bridge the gap between meals or be substantial enough to be your main meal, including breakfast! Estimate 3 - 5 bites per person before dinner, 7 - 14 bites for an early afternoon event and 15 - 20 bites in lieu of a traditional dinner.

Event Planning

What do you expect from your caterer? Do you just want to have food delivered to you or do you require help in planning your annual summer soire or perfect wedding? Be very clear what your expectations are and what you may need assistance with.

Tastings

Most caterers offer "tastings" for large staffed events. Once you have confirmed the booking of your event with a deposit, most caterers will not charge for this service. If you are just shopping around you should expect to pay.

In the end, successful party planning doesn't have to be that difficult, with proper planning you'll really achieve the goal of being a guest at your own party.

As a new parent, you're likely full of anxiety and apprehension about your little bundle of joy. A costume seems like the least of your worries when you think of all the other dangers surrounding Halloween, such as cars being unable to see you and your baby in the dark or what to do with your baby at a Halloween party.

By taking a few proper safety precautions, you can ensure a happy Halloween regardless. Your best bet, if you decide to trick or treat, is to take the baby out before dark, just after dinner, with your other children. Choose colorful costumes and add reflective tape to the stroller and part of the costume. Halloween is a fun holiday and your baby will love the novelty of his or her costume design.

Ideally, a costume will be comfortable, not too hot, not too cold and easy to undo for changing time. There shouldn't be any appendages that will irritate the baby or trip the toddler. Remember that material-wise cotton is durable and comfortable, when compared to polyester, and plush fabrics are snuggly for the baby, but not necessarily so if you live in muggy Florida. Be sure to look over the costume design for anything that might be pulled off or choked on.

Avoid buying masks or using face paints on your baby and if you plan on participating in a trick or treat romp around the neighborhood to show off your newborn, then be sure you and your stroller are highly visible with reflective tape and light colors. Most importantly, check the label to be sure the outfit is flame retardant and machine washable! Now that you know the safety tips, it's time to think more creatively about finding the best infant and toddler costumes.

For your toddler, newborn or infant, whether they are walking or not, visit "Annies Costumes" for the costume you want. The sizes there are easily separated into newborn, newborn walker, infant of 12-24 Month and toddler 2T-4T. You'll melt browsing the selection of adorable plush baby and toddler costumes. There are Baby Einstein characters, a Shrek bunting, soft pink and blue bunnies, baby bees or baby bats, and all are just a little bit cuter than what you can find on other sites.

Also, there are some really creative costumes that aren't elsewhere, such as the creative money sack "Billion Dollar Baby" costume, a "Dazzling Baby Flower," a "Baby Strawberry," a "Little Trees Car Freshener" costume, the "Mini Muscle Man" costume, a "Tootsie Roll" or "Sugar Babies" candy bunting, a "Jack in the Box" bunting, the "Chili Pepper" suit and the "Sunflower" bunting. Toddler costumes like "Captain America," "Chewbacca," "Winnie the Pooh" and "Baby Thomas the Tank" really stand out.

The costume you choose is going to get trashed, you know this. It's going to be pooped in, drooled on, spilled on and spit up on. Many of the plush baby and toddler costumes are "spot clean only," which means you'll need to use a gentle non-abrasive laundry spot remover and hope there are no major messes. If your princess dribbles on her dress, then you can try a fine fabric cleaner and cold water via hand-wash. "Dry clean only" costumes may not be worth the money if they'll never be worn again. If you only paid $6.95 for it, then why bother paying $20 to clean it? Checking the label and opt for machine washable, and feed your baby with bibs or in another outfit before getting dressed up for Halloween fun!

If you were sitting around with friends on a Saturday night, would you be at all surprised if someone suggests ordering a pizza? The fact is pizza is one of the most widely appreciated foods in the world, and it can be found from one side of the globe to the other. There are literally thousands of different possibilities when it comes to garnishing a pizza, and it basically all falls to what you appreciate the most. Pizza is an Italian dish that has been around for centuries, and it is still enjoyed everyday in Italy as a simple yet filling meal. You will find many variations of this pie throughout Italy's many regions; each and every one of them is as delightful as the last.

Primitive Cookware

Pizza has been around as far as historians can seemingly follow, and it was not a recipe that had any actual reason to change over the years. This bread like food was once cooked on the shields of Roman soldiers, and then garnished with ingredients such as: olive oil, tomatoes, onions, and dates. The great thing about this type of cooking is that it left no trace of the army for the opposition to find. The "plates" so to speak were actually eaten. The first sign of pizza can be found at the bottom of oven stones, and the less fortunate mostly enjoyed this meal. People would flock to the streets of Rome to try this wonderful dish that the peasants basically designed for simple meal times, and it called for the use of very basic and easily accessible ingredients.

Endless Options

When it comes to pizza, you really have no limit to what you can use as an ingredient. There are actually thousands of variations in regards to a pizza, finding the right mix for you is only a matter of trial and error. Virtually any meat that you can find is a capable ingredient for a pie, and some of the more popular meats include: ham, ground beef, pepperoni, and anchovies. Of course you must keep in mind that there are many other meats that can be toppings on a pizza, it is as simple as picking one and trying it out. If you are going experiment with ingredients for your pie, you cannot forget some of the wonderful veggies that make this meal a hit. With delights such as mushrooms, tomatoes, and hot peppers being popular, they seem to compliment the meats quite nicely.

A Utility Meal

Pizza is what is considered a utility meal, this is a dish that was and still is eaten by those that are of blue-collar lifestyles. There are many that feel this is a simple meal that is not appreciated by the wealthy however, this is not the case. The wealthy of the past in Italy did in fact enjoy this dish just as much as the poor. The difference between the two methods however, was that the wealthy enjoyed the spoils of more delectable ingredients.

Oktoberfest Girl Sexy Costume German Heidi Beer Maid Serving Wench Dirndl Dress Octoberfest Outfit

Sexy 1 Piece Beer Girl Serving Wench

This Item Includes Mini Dress with Lace Up Details

{{RomaSizes}}
Customer Review: Cute but not worth $50
The costume is really cute, but it doesn't come with the frill skirt underneath, and the laces in the front will show your stomach if they aren't laced up tight enough. For $50 it's not worth it, but if it's a last minute thing (like it was for me), then it's a valid choice because it's only one piece.

The new Batman movie has brought an onslaught of Dark Knight collectibles even prior to it's release. The hype was a carefully crafted and planned advertisement campaign even before Heath Ledger's death. Of course with Heath Ledger unfortunately fitting the bill of recent dead famous actors, the strategy took off even better than planned. It's been a long time since we've seen a movie which seemed to "self promote" itself as much as this new Batman movie The Dark Knight. There is lots of viral effect and it is working.

Heath Ledger was (and still is) a famous Australian actor before anyone in the USA ever heard of him. He is also just simply one of the most famous male actors in worldwide news at this time. Most of this is centered around his role as The Joker in "The Dark Knight". The Joker has always been a favorite villain in these Batman movies and this movie is no different. Ledger's presence in the news, his worldwide popularity as an actor prior to The Dark Knight and his untimely death have all created a perfect storm for Batman Dark Knight collectible movie memorabilia. Especially the Joker.

The Batman Superpowers plastic toys, posters and Tee shirts have always been a hit in the past and this movie alone could very well top them all in combined merchandise sales! If you are a collector of this type of movie memorabilia then you already know the value some of these items can bring in time. Some very nice collectibles are going to be produced as a result of The Dark Knight.

Naturally any original Heath Ledger autograph on a Joker photo or other Dark Knight piece of memorabilia will be a valuable collectible in both monetary and sentimental terms. These are pricey but well worth it to an avid fan or collector. Any Heath Ledger signed Batman poster or Dark Knight related picture is worth grabbing if you have the opportunity. There are also some nice reprints that while not so valuable, still make a nice keepsake or gift.

Other highly collectible items are the Batman Dark Knight action figures. While one might think of these as toys, many of them are very detailed and can greatly increase in value over time. Companies like Hasbro and Mattel are always right on the bandwagon with these. The Dante action figures are usually quite beautiful and worth looking into. Of course, you are not likely to find a valuable collectible at the dollar store! Those items are usually just one piece from plastic molds with no detail and often unofficial. Great for the kids but not very collectible.

One of the more expensive collectibles can be the statues or busts. These are really cool if you consider yourself a serious fan or collector because they are very detailed. DC Direct puts out some nice stuff. Most of the Joker Heath statues and busts are sold out for now and must be ordered. Batman himself is fairly easy to find for now.

Not all Dark Knight collectibles are meant to be a monetary investment. There are many collectible items available from this movie that are fun, affordable and unique. Of course there will be T shirts and movie posters, bobbleheads and lunch boxes etc. These items are usually pretty affordable. And by the time Halloween rolls around you can expect a whole new wave of products from this movie. Undoubtedly there will be lots of Joker Heath costumes and masks this season. I can hardly wait to see the Joker latex masks this Halloween!

The funny thing about collectibles is the best ones are usually the ones you didn't plan for. Lots of times we don't find out we have a collectible until years later. Sometimes we find out just weeks after we cleaned out the garage! (That happened to me and is how I got started collecting!)

The Dark Knight is going to offer a lot of autographed movie memorabilia, action figures, tee shirts and even some bizarre items like Joker Heath bottle openers or vacuum cleaners! Ok, vacuum cleaners might be a stretch. Time will tell but one thing for sure is there's plenty of affordable and potentially valuable collectible items available right now from The Dark Knight. With a little luck you just might hit the jackpot!

Hi there! Are you as excited about the new Dark Knight Joker action figures and other collectible items as I am? My name is Ray Sherman and collecting movie memorabillia, especially The Joker character from the Batman movies is one of my passions. Some of my other interests are blogging and internet marketing and I always look forward to my long motorcycle rides in the summer time as I scour the yard sales for collectible items! Thanks for your interest and for taking the time to read my articles. All the best in your Dark Knight collectibles search! http://www.JokerHeathCollectibles.com

Retro Vintage Sexy Adult Halloween Costume 60s 70s Bell Bottom Pants Disco Dancer Hippie Girl Outfit

Sexy 2 Piece Hippie Print Costume

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.

If I could provide one single tip to encompass all of the fundamental concepts of time management, goal setting and self-mastery, it would be this. Be thankful for what you have and the fact that you have the opportunity to have any circumstances at all. Each day, and even each moment, is an opportunity for you to begin to create the kind of world that you want for yourself.

You have the same 24 hours in each day as every other person walking the earth and who has ever walked the Earth before you. This doesn't mean that you are no more special than any of those other people. It means that you are just as special as all of those other people.

During the holidays it is most likely that you will have a bit of chaos. Things will happen that are outside of your plans. To have the most stress free holidays with your friends and family set your goals for what you actually want as an outcome and then focus on the actions necessary to get you to that outcome without getting hung up on the possible roadblocks and bumps you might encounter along the way. When you focus more on what's actually important, instead of focusing on the little problems, you'll find that you get more done, you feel less stress, and you'll be able to enjoy your time with your friends and family.

Time management is essential for having a successful holiday season, however if there is lack of motivation, time management can be a struggle. Motivation is maintained by focusing on the goals that you have set for yourself about the kind of a holiday that you want. This form of time management and goal setting doesn't have to be formal, but you should at least make a list of the things that are important for you to achieve this holiday season. Then you can put actions in your to do last that lead you to the completion in the achievement of those goals. Remember: a goal is not a to do list item. Your to do list is for the actions that you should be taking to achieve those goals.

If you are planning a big meal for friends and family, try changing some of the habits that you normally have for keeping track of your goals and to do list items. Clear off a section of your refrigerator door and put up a magnetic whiteboard. Or get different colored sticky notes and color code different to do list items and post them in locations where those actions are most likely to happen. If there are holiday tasks that another friend or family member is going to complete, partner with a friend or loved one who can help keep track of those tasks and come up with backup plans in case that person is unable to complete it on time. This way you're not focusing on managing other people's tasks as well as trying to take action on your own.

But again remember how lucky you are and be thankful that you do have friends, family and loved ones to share these holiday times with. Sometimes it's the chaotic events and little mistakes that make the best stories in years to come. So cherish all the moments you have and focus on the many, many things that you have to be thankful about this holiday season.

1. Don't leave your pets outside on Halloween or the days preceding it. This can be a very dangerous time for animals, especially black cats, when Halloween pranks committed against pets can be vicious. Every year there are malicious people who steal, torture, tease, or even kill pets on Halloween. The ASPCA and other pet organizations warn to keep ALL cats indoors and NEVER keep your dog in a car.

2. Halloween candy is for people, not pets. Chocolate, for example, can be deadly to pets. Keep your pets away from candy wrappers, tin foil, cellophane candy wrappers and lollipop sticks which can get lodged in their digestive tracts and cause injury or even death. There are many safe pet treats available to have on hand and many recipes for making homemade dog and cat treats. Teach everyone in your home, especially children, about the dangers of giving candy to pets and warn them about leaving candy wrappers on the floor. Take your child's candy and keep it out of reach from all pets in a closed closet or drawer. Dispose of candy wrappers before your pets can get to them and keep garbage cans tightly sealed.

Some signs that may require immediate veterinarian attention are:

* excessive drooling

* excessive urination

* pupil dilation

* vomiting and diarrhea

* muscle tremors and seizures

* hyperactivity

* coma

3. Children love getting dressed up in costumes at Halloween, but for pets costumes can be extremely uncomfortable, annoying, stressful and even hazardous. If you do dress up your pets, be sure the costume doesn't affect their ability to breathe, see, hear, smell, move, or bark. Masks are not a good idea for pets as they affect their ability to see. Animals depend on their sight to know what's going on and even the sweetest dog can get snippy if he doesn't know what's going on around him.

Injuries from Halloween costumes can include:

* Eye abrasions from sharp objects attached to masks or costumes

* Burns from flammable costumes ignited by open flames such as candles or Jack 'O Lanterns

* Skin irritations or rashes from decorative face paints or cremes

4. If you use candles in pumpkins, be sure to keep them out of the way of curious paws and noses. The lit pumpkin can get knocked over and cause a fire and cause deadly burns on your pet.

5. You might want to consider keeping your pet is a separate room when trick-or-treaters ring the doorbell. Strangers can frighten pets and even more so in strange costumes.

6. Be sure when you open the door that your pet doesn't run out when you hand out candy. You might want to consider keeping a pet gate in front of your door to block access in case your pet decides to chase after a trick-or-treater. You may want to crate your pet and be sure to provide plenty of fresh water, chew toys, a favorite blanket, or a piece of clothing with your scent on it to soothe your pet. Soft music can also soothe your pet during this stressful time.

7. If you do decide to let your dog greet visitors at the door, consider keeping him/her on a leash. A frightened dog can lunge, growl or bite. It will also keep him safe from running away or getting hit by a car.

8. Be sure you have proper Pet ID tags on so if your pet does run out, he/she has a better chance of being returned to you. Now is a good time to look at your pet's collar and update any old information like phone number and address. Also, information must be clear, so if your pet has old ID tags with name, address or phone number rubbed out, now's a great time to get that replaced.

9. If your animal is very high strung, instead of tranquilizers from your vet. Bach Rescue Remedy works really well it contains a special blend herbal and homeopathic ingredients known for their calming and soothing effect. Bach Rescue Remedy is a natural remedy with no risk of side effects or addiction and can be safely used by animals of all ages and sizes. You can find it at most health food stores.

10. Remember, your pets can't tell you what's wrong and what bothers them. They may be more frightened by all the noise, activity and strange people than you think. Be sympathetic and treat them as you would any frightened child. Always have your local Animal Emergency phone number available in case your pet does get into something he/she shouldn't.

Sexy 3Pc Proper Nurse Uniform Halloween Costume by Leg avenue

Create an exciting and welcoming home for your Thanksgiving festivities.

Five "Welcome to Our Home" Holiday Decorating Tips

1. Door wreaths welcome all to your home and set the stage for celebrating. Make a simple wreath to hang on your front door with Thanksgiving colors--brown, russet, olive green. Use tree branches from your garden; attach a few gourds, nuts, raffia, and ribbons.

2. Place a gorgeous mum by your front door. You can plant it later and get flowers next Thanksgiving to use inside. It just takes one bright spot near your front door to attract the eye of arriving guests.

3. Wrap your front door with gift wrap appropriate to Thanksgiving.

4. Make a "welcome to our home" banner. Add your ribbons, raffia, and fall leaves.

5. Group vines, pumpkins, and mums for display impact near the front entrance. Adjust the vines to add height and movement.

Fall Leaves make great interior and exterior decorations. Be sure to hose off any bugs!

Five Holiday Decorating Tips for Your Home's Interior

1. Display vegetables and mini pumpkins on a tray. Fill in any gaps with fall leaves, moss, raffia, or wheat. If orange clashes with your home's interior, use green apples and spray paint the mini-pumpkins your colors.

2. Tie ribbons and raffia around your candle bases and around your floral arrangements.

3. Set fall-color leaves under your decorations. Safety Tip: Keep leaves separated from melting candle wax.

4. Extend your flower arrangements with fall tree branches. Just one flower package makes a huge impact when you divide and spread it around.

5. Use copper, bronze, and gold spray paint to dress up plain gourds. Fill a glass or crystal bowl with the gourds, oranges, and nuts.

Did I already mention gorgeous red, golden leaves? Here's another way to add fall color: Place the leaves in your green potted-plants.

One beautiful way to kick off your holiday season: Wrap tiny gifts in gold foil; top off with brown and russet ribbons, and place the gifts on the dinner plate. Your table will look fabulous and your guests will love the thought.

Happy Thanksgiving!
