Halloween Tips And Ideas
Halloween will soon be here and many are wondering how and where to celebrate this spooky annual event.
When it comes to All Hallow's Eve....there is no lack of variety in what is available. From trick or treating to hosting a scary movie marathon, finding something not to do would actually be more of a challenge! Here are some frightfully good ideas that would make for an interesting evening.
If you live in a friendly neighbourhood, you could consider trick or treating. This works especially well if you give advance notice to your neighbours of your intentions by leaving a note on their doorstep a few days before Halloween. Certain neighbourhoods, appartment blocks and gated communities really make an effort to be prepared with treats and some even decorate their front gardens. My children still remember the house of the guy who turned his whole front yard into a dark catacomb and who then sat quietly in the dark as we walked up the path before scaring us all half to death!
If Halloween falls on a school night this year, young children who need an early night will still feel as though they celebrated if you set up a few special treats, some arts and crafts and perhaps a fun movie before bedtime.
Halloween fancy dress parties are great to both host and attend and if you are stuck for costume ideas, again - head for Google and do an image search! If you have teenagers, they may scoff at the thought of having a Halloween party but may like the thought of a night of terror and suspense. Depending on their age, you could arrange to hire movies such as Hocus Pocus, Psycho or the Blair Witch Project. Just add a bunch of their best friends, popcorn, soda and a pizza delivery for instant teenage heaven.
Scour the net elsewhere too for a variety of activities including paper plate pumpkins and pipe cleaner spiders. Older children may enjoy making slime with two cups of water, half a cup of cornstarch and a few drops of red or green food colouring.
Carve a pumpkin - Pumpkin carving is a great family activity and it takes perserverance more than it takes skill. Visit Pumpkin Carving Templates where you will find some great Jack O’ Lantern patterns as well as instructions and videos on how to carve pumpkins.
Murder mystery dinner parties are great fun and if you pick one with a Chinese, Indian or Italian theme you don’t even have to cook – you can just order a home delivery from your local Chinese or Indian take-away or from your favourite pizza place. Choose guest with a sense of fun who will get into the spirit of the evening by dressing up and taking on the mannerisms and accent of the character you have chosen for them and you are in for a memorable evening.
To spend the evening playing games with family is also a great way to pass the time. Board games such as Cluedo or the types of jigsaw puzzles that involve solving riddles are just perfect. Prepare some themed nibbles and a few drinks and you will have spent some true Halloween quality time together.
These are just a handfull of ideas that will keep you occupied this eerie evening - happy howling!
How do you tell real Jade from a polished dyed rock?
How do you tell if Jade is authentic? I have a lot of old Chinese carved stone or jade items and could not tell you if the green jade is real or fake. Does anyone know how to test for it?. Since it comes from China, for all I know it is chunk of green melamine or ground puppy bones?
Take it to a jewellers and they should be able to tell you for free and let you know if you should insure it.
3 ETFs for Yuan-Denominated Bonds (The Street)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Analysts, market commentators, and investors continue
to debate the possibility that the Chinese economy is in for a hard landing.
In the face of these concerns, however, ETF sponsors have continued to churn
out products designed to target the nation's marketplace.
In recent years, China's equity market has been a popular destination for up-
and-coming fund companies looking to carve out their respective niche in the
Darwinian ETF universe. The drive to provide investors with products that
offer new and unique exposure to this emerging growth engine led to the
creation of these new offerings.
Large cap-focused China funds like iShares FTSE China 25 Index Fund are still
wildly popular. However, aggressive investors can also take aim at the nation
using sector- and style-specific products like the Guggenheim China Small Cap
ETF, Global X China Consumer ETF and the Guggenheim China Real Estate ETF. ...
