Party Supplies - What You Need For the Birthday and Theme Party

The success of a party depends on whether the host has planned out the party to the best or not. Planning will include all the necessary things needed to make the fun happen. Getting the right gears for the party is important so the rest of the article is dedicated to give you to this most intriguing question on earth.

A celebration that is simple and among closest family members will not require too much effort when compared to the one where you have to invite almost the whole neighborhood. For a massive event, you have to carefully plan because it will involve larger funds. To avoid wastage or unnecessary spending, you ought to figure out way ahead for the party. You need to identify the types of supplies you will need and make sure it varied and within your budget. This also includes catering.

Birthday parties can be a straight forward one or a themed party. They will need similar types of supplies but different in a few ways.

The birthday party supplies you need are:

- Invitations. These are strictly optional although they are pretty common at children's parties as it adds to the excitement of an anticipated good time.

- Cake. This is the integral part of the celebrations, no matter the age. Somehow, a birthday party without a birthday cake seems incomplete.

- A party pack is something for the guests to take home. They are usually filled with delightful and adorable stuffs like hats, small toys and candies. The reasons why people are given party packs are to remind them of the great time they had at the party.

- Party props are only required if you are holding a themed birthday party. The most common props you will find are poppers, hats, confetti and streamers.

- Tableware. Whether or not to use casual or formal tableware (as in disposable paper plates and cups versus porcelain ones) is a personal choice and depends on the elaborateness of the celebration.

- Food and beverage will depend on the age of the guests at the party. You will have to decide whether your guests will be comfortable with a small buffet, sit down dinner (usually for small number of guests) or finger food served. There should always be alcoholic beverages when you are catering to adults. Never forget that you should include plain water as it helps with digestions and dehydration.

- Decoration will cover a whole lot of matter. They include ceilings, walls, entrance, tables, chairs and for outdoor parties, locations. What you will need are banners, flowers (with arrangements), balloons, furniture, plants and the list goes on.

Its easier to shop for general birthday party supplies. You need not stick to a specific theme or color. All you need to do is customize the things according to the age of the person celebrating the birthday.

Party with a theme will require you to put a little more effort into. For making Hawaiian Luau, Halloween Nights, Military Nights or Celebrity Evenings come true; you will need the other themed supplies besides the usual. You need your creativity and resourcefulness to play their part in making this party happen.

To make a themed party come more alive, the apparels should not be ignored. Hats, helmets, bell bottom pants will contribute to the air of the theme. Without apparels for a themed party, the party will seem mundane. The host can also play a part in keeping the theme alive. As a host, you can give out a few theme party supplies for the theme like pumpkins, cowboy hats or even grass skirts.

Another important theme party supply is themed decoration. No matter what the theme, the appropriate décor will make the event a success. A Hawaiian luau, for instance, will require an Aloha banner while Retro Nights will need the shiny disco ball to create the right atmosphere. This helps put everyone in the mood to really get into the swing of things.

Giving a great party is priceless. It is undeniable that decorations and party ware are important. Nevertheless there is still another thing that is more important than throwing a successful party, a safe party.

Remote Control Helicopters - A Beginners Guide

Not so long ago anyone who wanted to get involved in the hobby of flying remote control helicopters needed a degree in mechanical engineering. Because the models were so expensive and complicated they were inaccessible to most people. As with all items of consumer electronics the increased functionality and ease of use has transformed the hobby over recent years.

No only are model helicopters more advanced, they are also easier to use, a lot more stable and most importantly, cheaper. It is now possible to get an entry level helicopter for less than $150. There is a model helicopter to suit all budgets.

Toy helicopters are even cheaper, usually less than $30, but because they are only toys we will exclude them from our beginners guide to the hobby of flying remote control helicopters.

If you are thinking of purchasing a model heli there can be a tendency to rush out to the nearest model shop and buy the shiniest and what you think the best helicopter. Anytime we are asked, we strongly advise against such action. It is vital that you take time to consider exactly what you need. There is a huge variety of models available. Taking time to understand the advantages and disadvantages of each type is the approach we recommend.

Factors that you need to consider include, access to a suitable flying area, cost, time to practice and level of enthusiasm. If you have only a passing interest in the hobby and are just looking for a bit of fun then purchasing an advanced 3D model helicopter capable of serious aerobatics is not something you should do. It can be very easy to get carried away with a good sales pitch in a shop and you could end up with something that is not suited to your needs.

In this article we have limited our explanation of the types of model helicopters to electrically powered ones. These are most suited to beginners and it is only the more advanced versions that use other power options, such as nitro helicopters.

Coaxial Helicopters: These helicopters are very well balanced and will be ready to fly straight out of the box. They are perfect for learning the basics of flying a helicopter. On inspection there is an obvious difference to other helicopters. Coaxial models have two sets of main rotor blades, one mounted above the other. They spin in opposite directions which ensures the heli remains stable in the air. There is no tail rotor.

Fixed Pitch helicopters (FP): Unlike coaxial models, fixed pitch helicopters are configured as you would expect. There is one set of main rotor blades and a tail rotor to prevent the tail spinning as power is applied. They are not suitable for advanced, precision flying. Because the pitch of the rotor blades is fixed the only way of controlling the height of the helicopter is through the use of the throttle (power). This can be a rather "blunt" control and can take some time to master. Having said that they are definitely a step up from coaxial models and will be an enjoyable challenge.

Collective Pitch Models: These helicopters are great fun, powerful and not for those who just want to fly a model now and then. Don't waste your money if you are not going to practice regularly and get the most from the helicopter. They have a full set of controls similar to what you would expect to find on a real helicopter and can be flown at speed. These helis are better suited to the outdoors or large sports halls.

There is no one helicopter that is right for all beginners. Everyone has different plans for how they want to use the model. Some readers may have already used a micro, indoor helicopter and are hooked, whereas others may just want something to use on a Sunday in the park with the kids. The key to enjoying a model helicopter is getting the most suitable model for what YOU want. Hopefully the paragraphs above will act as a first point of reference in your search for a suitable remote control helicopter.




Buying and flying a remote control helicopter has never been easier. It is a hobby that people of all ages can enjoy. To get the most from the hobby it is important to do some research and get an understanding of what type of helicopters are available. There are models to suit all abilities and budgets.

Lego Star Wars - The Complete Saga (Wii)

Lucas Arts and Traveller's Tales created the perfect combination of nostalgia and geekery with the 2005 release of Lego Star wars. This innovative, cartoony, action adventure game that took advantage of a multi-generational love for both the Star wars film franchise and every kid's favourite toy, Lego bricks. In 2006 the game's sequel was more refined, largely because it was based on the much loved original trilogy rather than the prequels which some what disappointed the Star wars fan base. Now developer Traveller's Tales has rolled both games into a single package and released it as Lego Star wars: The complete Saga. At 2 games for the price of one, especially with improved visuals, this is an excellent release. Both games have been very successful and critically well received and having both in a single package is a great deal... unless you have played both games through to completion.

The basic appeal of the Lego Star Wars video games series is that it lets you the player and fan, act out some of the most memorable scenes from the Star Wars movies with cute little Lego people, symbolised the world across as a source of joy. This concept hits so many different nostalgic memories, with such ruthless precision that it almost seems sinister. The game play itself is a blend of action platforming, puzzle solving and co-op play, having to switch between 2 or more controllable characters to get around an obstacle. You'll make your way through various backdrops of the Star Wars movies, such as Naboo palace, the cloning facility on Kamino, the streets of Mos Eisley, even the corridors of the Death Star. There are many characters to be unlocked both during play and for collecting in game items and exchanging them like a currency for characters, outfits etc. The characters themselves are all neatly sectioned off into appropriate classes for play, all with unique abilities to help you pass various obstacles. You can control only one character at a time but you can switch between a party of many trailing characters in order to advance beyond the problems you are presented with. They all have unique abilities to allow you to navigate past big ledges, vents and even using the force to create Lego objects to pass laser fences. Of course, all the in game items, characters, vehicles, and even environments and designed in the 3d software from Lego bricks and appear in the style physical models in the game creating a surreal, fun and overall unique look to the Lego games. The game breaks away from the action platformer genre occasionally for a vehicle themed level. These are less puzzle based and more about just plain old having fun, collecting shiny things and in the case of a pod race, getting the best time. They're rarely as polished or intuitive as the action when you're on foot, but they do a good job punctuating the normal flow of action of the game. The group-based game play has made Lego Star Wars ideal for playing with a friend. In The Complete Saga for the PS3 and Xbox 360, you can now play the game cooperatively over the Internet. This is by far the best addition to this package, and it has been integrated fluidly, making it child's play for another player to jump into your game at any point. The Complete Saga does offer a few more, less significant changes and upgrades. A few new levels have been added, whilst others have been changed. Overall however, the games play pretty similar to the original released versions.

Since this is the first time the content from the original Lego Star Wars games have been ported to the new generation of consoles, all of the visuals have been enhanced for the Xbox 360 and PS3. It allows the entire game look as polished as Lego Star Wars II was on the 360 last year, with sharper, bigger textures, a well implemented plastic shine on the characters and objects, and tons of focus effects. Apart for widescreen support, the Wii version's visuals are far too similar to the original PS2 graphics and it makes very little use of the Wii's motion capture capabilities. Without the greatly improved visuals, or indeed the online play in the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, The Complete Saga on the Wii feels a little less complete and less easy to recommend. The game will no doubt do well, as it has a full back catalogue of fans who pine for Lego Star Wars Mini Figures in any shape or form. Overall, a good package for people new to the series, but perhaps not quite as attractive to veterans of the series.

7/10.

Aliens Among Us - Top Alien Invasion Movies on Satellite TV

Aliens have always played a significant role in the movies; most of time, these creatures from outer space have been less than friendly. In the world of movies, what more could you want than ugly, green, space creatures coming to attack we the good people of Earth? It's an excellent set up that leads to lots of thrills and chills. Here are some of the top alien invasion movies of all time-check your satellite TV guide for show times.

war of the worlds: There's the modern version starring Tom Cruise, and then you've got the original from 1953. It's hard to top a classic, but the lastest version does a pretty good job with all the special effects. The brain sucking aliens and their gnarly looking space ships look quite realistic, especially in HD. But, if you're one who likes to stick with the classics, Byron Haskin's version is frightening and beautiful in its own right, without all the killer HD effects.

Mars Attacks: This is an absurd comedy, but it is hilarious. With an all star cast including Annette Benning, Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Danny Devito, Pierce Brosnan, Martin Short, Jessica Parker and a young Natalie Portman, this movie isn't one to miss. It's directed by Tim Burton and it's a great spoof of 1950's low budget sci-fi movies. You'll enjoy the slapstick humor and the rather funny looking aliens.

The Day The Earth Stood Still: Again, you've got the classic 1951 version directed by Robert Wise, and then there's the remake starring Keanu Reeves as Klaatu, the Earth bound alien, and Jennifer Connelly as the scientist who tries to save him and Earth. The remake had its moments, the effects are pretty compelling especially on a huge flat screen HD TV, and Reeves is convincing as an alien, however, many would probably say the movie lacked in many ways. Robert Wise's original was much more gripping, despite its old school fx.

Independence Day: This is the ultimate alien invasion movie. There are explosions. And then there are more explosions. The Empire State building is blown to smithereens and all of Manhattan is engulfed by a raging fire ball. The Whitehouse is subsequently destroyed and all havoc breaks out as the aliens seek to destroy the entire Earth. Luckily, Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum save the day with their quips and guns. Watch this movie in high definition-all that fire power needs to be seen in crystal clear def.

Predator: Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger before he decided to take care of illegal aliens in California, this movie sees the governator kicking some nasty alien hide. The predator in this movie has some excellent tricks up his sleeve, including the ability to turn invisible and he sports some killer rasta style dreads. This one will definitely give you the chills.

Signs: This is another M. Night Shyamalan classic. It doesn't depend on explosions and incredible FX to get under your skin. It's well crafted and definitely creepy. The execution of the storyline and its tie in with the title of the movie was handled expertly. The subtle details in this movie make it well worth the watch. This is a great alien film on many fronts.

Are Online Games a Bad Influence Or Not?

Online gamers are a different breed of individuals. For one they can spend days playing with people they have never met and even forget to eat. It's like a drug, they can yell, scream and cuss whenever their parents or family are not around and no one can say different. Even if your loved one does not use foul language in front of you it is still present online. The headsets that allow communication while in a game seem to be a breeding ground for foul mouth people trying to be "over the phone tough guys and girls". So what do you do?

Try limiting their play time to daytime hours when you can hear what is coming out of their mouths. Make them take a break every couple of hours if they have been engaged to long. Be aware that these games can be addictive because of the adrenalin rush they provide. Your kids will act like they are on crack. I have seen this behavior from my son when I take it and lock it up for a week or two. He goes nuts for the first two days then he is fine.

Does online gaming change kids? Absolutely it does and not always for the best. The only positive behavior I noticed was that my 15 year old is much better at defending himself from high school bullying and peer pressure than other kids. I raised him to be a good person and defend others that are in trouble and he has still held onto that. But at home he has a whole different attitude. I let him play online as long as he does his homework and keeps his grades up. He also has to do his chores without arguing. Could it be normal behavior? I would have said yes until I started taking it away for different periods of time.

Like I said earlier he is a different person when he doesn't have his game. Some studies have shown an increase in violence when kids play violent games. I personally have not witnessed this, but the disrespect for elders is a very real problem. It seems that since they can speak to other gamers any way that they want due to anonymity, then they can do it outside of the game environment as well. Control is a big issue because you want your kids to succeed in life but they want to be left alone to their own devices. Give them space but limited space. Otherwise they might choose the game over you. You laugh, but I have seen it with my friends children.

When it comes to letting them play online it's up to you to keep track of how much time they spend online and how they are developing as people. As far as them being addicted to the games, I like it because it gives me leverage for when he has gone too far with misbehaving. Just for the record I like to play myself, but not online. I don't enjoy hearing little kids all over the world swearing and using racial slurs towards one another. Not my cup of tea. If you just bought a system for your children please take a snap shot of how they act now and reflect on that in a year or so and see if I am alone in my conclusion.

Setting Bowling Alley Pins in the 50's

Before the days of automatic pin setters in bowling alleys, they used a rack that one could throw the pins into, then push a lever down to set the pins in the correct position. This provided a good job for young men that liked a little excitement. The pin setter would sit on the edge of the pit with his feet clear of the bowling ball that would come crashing down the alley. Most of the time all the pins would remain in the pit, but sometimes they would fly out and if you were not alert you may get hit.

When the bowler would throw the first ball, the pin setter would pick up the ball and place it on the return rail, then as fast as he could, pick up the pins and place them in the rack. If the pin setter was too slow and the ball reached the bowler before the pin setter was through in the pit the person bowling may throw the ball and catch you in the pit. They usually cannot see you down in the pit, or maybe they can and like to see you jump! We would learn to pick up two pins in each hand and sometimes a fifth pin between the two hands. If it was a strike, you could then pick up all the pins by only bending over twice, five pins each time. The object was to always complete the action before the ball reached the return rack.

During the slack time and while waiting for the bowlers to arrive, we would gather around the pin-ball machine and see who could rack up the most games. We would set the front legs on the soles of our shoes to the make the ball roll slower, until it would tilt, and end the game. Someone figured out where the solenoid for added games was located in the back and cut a hole there so we could save a nickel by pushing in just the right spot.

This was my first really paying job and when I got my social security card. We had just moved from Englewood, Tennessee to Lakeland, Florida. We lived in a trailer park on the edge of town and on one of the many lakes there. It was another great place for a fifteen-year-old, I could swim and water ski. You just had to watch out for the alligators. I meet a most interesting friend there about my age, can't recall his name. He was a 15-year-old pilot and Ham Radio operator. He never took me up in his plane, but I sure enjoyed listening to him talking to the world on the ham radio.

Years later when I was working for Lockheed Air Craft, I took a course on Single Side Band radios used in the C-141 Cargo Plane and I thought back about those hours we spent on the ham radio. I was working at Lockheed when the President was shot in Texas.

Now that I had gotten my first job, I felt that I could do anything and go anywhere and make a living. However, I was still only 15! School was a problem for me, it may have been because we moved so much and I seem to never be able to complete a full year at one school. And I believe that I also may have been bored. I spent two years in the seventh grade, two years in the eighth grade and was starting on my second year in the ninth, when I gave it up and left home at 16.

There was another family in the trailer park that had a problem son who ran away a lot and there was a lot of talk about how hard it was to keep young boys at home. I was still 15 when we moved again back to my hometown of Providence, Kentucky. I was working at a drive-in movie theater at night, cutting school in the day time and always on the edge of getting into trouble. The owner of the theater rented our three story home in Providence and we lived in the trailer parked behind the house. My younger sister was getting older and the trailer was getting crowded, so I was given the basement of the house for my bed room.

I would ride to work with the theater owner and run the projection equipment all night until the last show was over. The movies came in two boxes with two reels of film in each box. We would have to wind the film through our hands to inspect for bad splices before showing the movie. If you had a bad splice, the film would break or jam in the middle. The image would stop on the screen and a hole would start to burn in the middle. It would really look strange on the screen. Then the horns would start blowing all the time you cleared the mess out of the projector and re-spliced the film. One night during the second showing, I made an error and played reel number 1 followed by reel number 3, then number 2 and ended with number 4. No one complained, but if they were watching, I bet they were confused. Lots of time I would splice the cartoon or news on backwards and you would see the sound track running down the side.

During intermission time we sometimes would have some kind of entertainment and one night we had a group that bought junk cars and would jump them over each other and crash them in the area in front of the big screen. They had trouble getting a 1948 Plymouth started that night and could not crash it. I offered them $60.00 for it and I had my first car, but no driver's license. You had to be 16 in the state of Kentucky to get a license. After the show that night a friend push me off and we got the car started so I could drive it home. Dad was slightly upset and said that it could just set there in the back yard, until I was old enough to get a license.

I was back to walking home after closing the theater. The owners would usually not stay after the concession stand closed and unless I knew someone that was at the movie I would be stuck with walking the 5 miles home in the dark. I don't know how many times I walked off the road and almost fell into the ditch on those nights when there was no moon.

In the storage space behind the large screen, there were all kinds of junk and I found some old 16 mm film reels of old b-movies. The owner had stored them there, well I borrowed a few of them and at home under our sun porch there was a crawl space of about five feet. I found an old 16 mm projector and set up my own theater. For the 50's some of the films were sexy, and by to days standards would be rated PG. The only problem with my theater was that I used a lot of cardboard for building material and soon the termites were every where. Dad made me creosote everything that touch the dirt floor. Well the smell of creosote was just too much, so that ended that project. The owner reported to the police that someone had broke into the storage and they questioned me about it. I was never sure if someone else had stolen something or if he was looking for those films.

I did drive the old Plymouth one more time, some friends and I were going out to the coal mine strip cut to go swimming. There was a lot of strip mining in west Kentucky and at that time they would just leave the big cuts open to fill with water. They made fine swimming holes, they were deep, usually over 100 feet and had steep banks that we could dive from. We pulled the old Plymouth out onto the road and pushed it down the hill until it started. It had very little compression so you had to get up a little speed before it would start. After our swim we started back home on the long gravel road and one by one the thin tires started to blow. I continued to drive it on the rims, if I stopped we would never be able to push it fast enough with two flats to get it started again. I think that dad hauled it back to the junk yard after I left home.

Castle Age Game Review

Castle Age is a massively-multiplayer online (MMO) game hosted on Facebook. You get to quest in a lore-rich world, team up with friends to fight monsters such as dragons and hydra, and even invade and duel thousands of other Castle Age players!

The game is based on a turn-based concept that has been around for decades but has only recently become popular due to successful Facebook and MySpace games such as Mafia wars and Farmville. The core concept is that the turns are time-based. For example, you can perform a move every 5 minutes. However, since most players aren't able to stay online and play the game 24/7, these games feature a turn-accumulation mechanism where you can accumulate "energy" while offline, and use it all up the next time you log on to perform multiple turns. This levels the playing field between hardcore gamers and the more casual players, making these games very popular with a lot of people.

There is so much to do in Castle Age that it is surprising that this game is free to play. You get to immerse in the fantasy land of Castle Age any which way you want to. If you are more inclined to explore the world and experience the many wonders and inhabitants it has to offer, then questing is for you. If you wish to team up with other valiant players to defeat powerful and mythical monsters, then there are plenty of dragons waiting for you. Or if you'd rather fight other players, then invading, dueling and looting them are available options.

Questing involves visiting the different lands in the world of Castle Age as you help the mystical Celesta retrieve powerful crystals in order to safeguard the world. As you journey, you will encounter quests that present challenges that you will need to overcome. Each quest tells the story of a small part of your great undertaking with Celesta.

The quest system in this game is based on requirements. Firstly, you will need energy to solve them, with higher level quests requiring more energy. In addition, each quest will require you to hire certain units such as wizards and knights in order for you to be successful. You will also have to hire specific heroes to lead your units and help you complete each quest. As you complete each quest, you will be rewarded with experience, gold and treasure!

If you prefer to play with other players rather than quest on your own, there are plenty of epic bosses roaming the world for you to summon and fight. Some monsters are weaker and can only be fought by you and your friends, while the more powerful bosses such as the World Hydra can be fought by a team consisting of anyone playing the game, making this feel epic with a great sense of teamwork and achievement. Killing these monsters will provide you with powerful followers, weapons and armor to make you stronger for future battles.

Another aspect of the game is the ability to attack other players, commonly known as the player-vs-player (PVP) portion of the game. There are 2 ways in which to fight other players: by invading them or dueling them.

Invasion represents all out war. You muster your friends, followers, heroes and equipment, and attack the other player. Or you can challenge them to honorable combat, dueling them mano-a-mano with your best weapons, armor and magic. And to the victor go the spoils!

The more successful you are at PVP and the more players you defeat, you will be able to climb the battle ranks. You start off as a lowly scout, but with persistence, you might be able to attain ranks such as knight, general and even duke! And with each rank you gain, you are entitled to special rewards that help you stand out from the crowd.

One thing that makes Castle Age different from typical games is that its contents are updated on a very regular basis. You are able to fight new monsters, face new bosses and find new treasures almost every week! The amount of constant updates and improvements that the developers provide to the game is what makes it really shine.

There is also an element of collectability and surprise in this game. Killing monsters gives you a chance of acquiring the coveted favor points. These favor points can be used to buy limited edition heroes and equipment that are only available for short periods of time. And if you're feeling lucky, you can use these favor points to open treasure chests. You might find an unimpressive shield, or you could end up in control of an ultra-rare hero with the power of a demi-god!

Rating: 4.5/5.0

Understanding the Periodic Table of Elements

Periodic Table of Elements

The periodic table of elements is a table which shows the arrangement of chemical elements ordered by atomic numbers in columns and rows. It was invented by Russian chemist Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869 to determine the periodic trends in the properties of elements.

The elements are listed according to their increasing atomic numbers. Rows are arranged in such a way that elements with similar properties fall into the same vertical columns. The groups or columns are numbered 1-18. The arrangement is Group 1(alkali metals), Group 2(alkaline earth metals), Group 15 (pnicogens), Group 16(chalcogens), Group 17(halogens) and Group 18(noble gases). There are some groups that enjoy non-systematic names as well. Not only are the groups in the periodic table, some other groupings of elements often named as well. They are lanthanoids and actinoids.

In 2006, the periodic table contained 117 periodic elements. Out of these, 92 are found naturally on earth, and the rest are artificial elements.

Structure of a Periodic Table
To arrange elements in a periodic table, the chemical properties with the electron configuration of an element is determined. The total number of electrons present in an element determines to which period it belongs. The orbital where the electrons reside, determine the block to which it belongs. And the number of valence shell electrons determines the group or family to which it belongs.

The elements with the same number of valence electrons or outer shell electrons are grouped together. As we progress from the lightest element to the heaviest element, the outer shell electrons or the valence, are all in the same type of orbital, with the same shape.

Groups and Periods
The vertical columns in the periodic table are known as the group, and are the most important method of classifying elements. Elements with very similar properties are grouped together and they are names according to the trend in properties, like alkali metals, alkali earth metals, halogens and noble gases.

The horizontal row in the periodic table is known as the period. This is also a type of classification of elements where the horizontal trends and similarities in properties are more significant than vertical trends.

Although Dmitri Mendeleev is the person responsible for creating the proper periodic table, there are other scientists as well who have contributed to its development. In Mendeleev's original table, each period was of the same length. But modern periodic table of elements have longer periods down the table and group the elements into s-, p-, d- and f- blocks to help us understand better.

27 Ways to Decorate for Christmas

25 Things to Use for Christmas Decorating

It's that time of year again! Doesn't it feel as though you've blinked and it's once again time to haul out the strings of lights, the pretty Christmas bulbs and ornaments, and the holiday displays?

Perhaps you are tired of your traditional Christmas decor or would simply like to try your hand at decorating a few more rooms of the house.

We have 25 fantastic suggestions for sprucing up your holiday decor this year.

1. Wreaths are a traditional decoration for Christmas, but the style of wreaths available today for the holidays are anything but traditional. Pine cones, pine boughs, and grapevines are all excellent foundations for Christmas wreaths. Decorate your wreath with birds, poinsettia blooms, berries, mini Christmas ornaments or bulbs and lights.

2. Battery-operated Christmas lights are ideal for hanging wreaths in any area of the home and avoiding unsightly electrical cords trailing down the wall. (Especially the new LED style of lights that last longer than traditional battery operated lights.)

3. Are you really creative? Create a Christmas wreath from past holiday-themed neckties, linen napkins, or even mismatched Christmas ornaments and ribbon for a look that is uniquely yours.

4. What is Christmas decorating without a Christmas tree? Most homes feature at the very least a large tree in a central location of the home, such as the living room, dining room, or den. Consider adding smaller Christmas trees in different areas of the house to bring cheer to every room. Older children would love to have a small tree in their room to enjoy throughout the holiday months. Christmas lights come in every size, shape, and color imaginable today, so get creative and have fun when choosing the lights for your tree this year.

5. Outdoor Christmas displays are fun to create and they're enjoyed by not only your neighbors, but by the people who purposely go searching for holiday displays on a cold winter evening. Simple displays such as a Nativity scene and a few angels are always a lovely addition to your holiday decorating plan. Want to go all out? Create a winter wonderland in your front yard complete with Santa's sleigh, reindeer, snowmen, and snowflakes. Decorate your home, trees, and shrubs too using net lights, rope lights, icicle lights, C7 and C9 lights to add holiday cheer to the outside of your home.

Here are some other great ideas for decorating your home for Christmas.

6. Pine cones - fantastic nestled in pine boughs on windowsills, in bay windows, or lining the fireplace mantel
7. Holly berries/bittersweet - windowsills, nestled in the grapevine tree or wreath, on the mantel or around the base of a large pillar candle in the middle of the holiday table
8. Mistletoe - every doorway, of course! Real or fake - go for it.
9. Christmas quilts - pull out your beautiful Christmas quilts and place them in a basket beside the fireplace, over the back of your rocking chair, on table tops, and other prominent places in the house
10. Christmas table runners, tablecloths, napkins - wonderful for decorating the holiday table, small foyer tables, bedside tables, buffets, hutches, and sideboards
11. Christmas centerpieces - dining room, buffet, entertainment center, den
12. Lights of every kind, shape, size, and color - wreaths, centerpieces, doorways, holiday trees, windows, child's bedroom, fireplace mantel, Nativity scene, and anywhere else that seems to strike your fancy (don't forget the garage and garden shed!)
13. Garland - strung around the banister, doorways, and tops of large windows
14. Bows - on the Christmas tree, along the fence, on the front door, or the garage door to name a few options
15. Candles - on the fireplace mantel, the dining room sideboard, master bedroom, den, in each window, and in the foyer
16. Homemade ornaments
17. Christmas cards
18. Popcorn strings/cranberry strings
19. Ribbons with sleigh bells attached and adorning the banister
20. Christmas wrapping paper - cover your every day artwork with Christmas wrap for instant holiday cheer in any room
21. Nativity scene
22. Advent wreath and calendar (have you seen the new Lego advent calendars?)
23. Grapevine trees with twinkle lights - on the porch, in a sunroom, in the 4-season porch, large bathrooms, or in a bedroom.
24. Holiday villages - if you haven't started to collect a holiday village set, consider purchasing a few pieces in a set each year and watch it grow.
25. Trains and train tracks - surround the Christmas tree or put it around the perimeter of a room for visual interest.
26. Decorate your front porch, patio, balcony or deck with lights, garland, and red bows
27. Lighted Christmas signs

Christmas is a wonderful time of year, filled with family, friends, and delicious goodies. Holiday decorating can be a fun activity for the entire family when you think outside the traditional ways you've decorated in years past. In our fast paced world take on the challenge to build some memories with your family that will last.

How Video Games Improve Your Education

Something that a lot of people don't believe, but it's true, is that video games actually bring benefits to people that play them, more specifically to their minds. There is more to these games than pretty graphics, good music and plots that emerge the player in the game's world.

1. Strategic thinking is improved by playing video games. When you play a game, you need to take decisions in advance and plan the next few steps that you're going to take. Playing games constantly allows people to develop their strategic thinking skills and these skills can be applied to real world situations.

2. By playing video games, your problem solving skills are improved. While you can say that about every game out there, video games are proven through studies to be improving the skills of solving problems. Almost every game out there has as a main focus a problem that needs solving in a challenging manner, provoking the player into thinking how to do it. By playing a single game, a player can have anywhere between a couple and a couple of hundred problems that need solving.

3. Eye and hand coordination are improved by video games. To test this, take a game controller and move the character inside the game. Maneuvering a mouse and a game controller ask for the same skills from the player.

4. Taking decisions quickly is something that is facilitated by video games. The impromptu situations is one of the factors that leads to this quality. Wherever you are in a game, you never know what will happen next, which makes it exciting for the player. If players want to win the game, they need to take the best decisions possible on the spot, without much time to think about it.

5. The imagination is stimulated when you play video games. People that argue that video games are bad for people are wrong and are usually limited in their imagination or never tried actually playing a game. One argument of these people is that games provide the things to the mind instead of leaving the mind to imagine things. The same people believe that a Lego set is all a kid needs to grow. We totally disagree with that. What a video game does for the player's imagination is truly great and it encourages him to dream more.

6. Exploration is encouraged in games. In RPG's for example, you need to go and explore the world ahead of you, seeing the unknown and learning about it. Opening a door and not knowing what you will find or the consequences of your actions encourages people to get used to exploring and learning.

7. Exercising the memory is also encouraged by video games. Players need to memorize the terrain, always knowing which way they should head next and what places offer the best rewards or the most challenging enemies.

8. Video games allow people to learn that actions have consequences. Every action taken by a player has a consequence and the player needs to live with it.

9. Endurance, dedication and patience are just a few of the things taught by video games. You can't finish a good game in a single day. The games that are most appreciated will usually take weeks to finish.

Video games offer a lot of possibilities to the mind of those that play them and listed here are just a few of them.

History of Lego Star Wars

Lego Star wars has quite the interesting history when it comes to the fact that the game entertains children everywhere. It all stems from the popular plastic building blocks that can be used to build cars, space ships, buildings, and whatever a child's imagination can think up. Anyone under the age of 60 has most likely played with Legos, so that means that many of the children playing with them today have grandparents who once used their imaginations to do the same exact thing.

The Lego saga began in 1932 in Billund, Denmark, where a carpenter by the name of Ole Kirk Kristiansen began a new business that made wooden toys, stepladders, and ironing boards. What no one realized at that time was that Legos had been born.

It was in 1934 that Kristiansen created the name Lego, which is derived from "leg godt," which are the Danish words for "play well." However, in Latin, the word Lego means "I put together." Unfortunately in 1942, the plant burned down and Kristiansen had to rebuild, but just two years later, Kristiansen's plant purchased an injection molding machine that created plastic toys, but he was yet to invent the building blocks.

It was in 1949 that the Automatic Binding Brick was introduced for sale only in Denmark and looked like a tiny plastic brick with eight or four studs. However, by 1950 the Lego accounted for half of the company's business. From then on, the Lego began spreading around the world and through the years had developed various themes such as sets that focused just on building cars or on just building buildings. The possibilities were endless.

However, the Legos of today are much different than the Legos both we and our parents played with. Our children are playing with Lego theme parks, there are Lego themed movies, and there are even Lego themed video games that are based off of particular toy lines created by Lego. One of those toy lines is Lego Star wars, which later led to the Lego Star wars video game.

The video game was first released in 2005 and is based during the prequel trilogy to the actual Star Wars Trilogy that began in the late 1970's and early 1980's. However, the game was actually released a month before the last of the Star Wars films was released.

It was developed by LucasArts and Eidos Interactive for the Sony PlayStation2, the Microsoft Xbox, and for personal computers running the Microsoft Windows Operating System. It was also developed for Nintendo's Game Boy Advance. In August 2005, A Mac port was developed for the game to be played on Mac computers and in October 2005, a version was released for the Nintendo GameCube.

Lego Star Wars received the Kidsworld.com award of Game of the Year and received very good reviews. In May 2005, it even peaked at the top of the charts in the UK to eventually lose its prominent spot to the Episode III game that was later released. However, its position as a top game for kids remained high for quite some time.

In September 2006, Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy was released and a year later was followed by a prequel game released in November 2007 called, Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga. Some deem the Lego Star Wars video games as the coolest games in history and they consistently receive ratings between 4 and 5 stars out of a possible 5 stars on many gaming websites. The games are great for children and are a great way for the Lego legacy to live on through the electronic world.




The purpose and vision of the Lego Star Wars is to inspire children to explore and challenge their own creative potential. Mastermind Toys offers educational toys for babies and toddlers.

Gears of War Action Figures

The video game finally makes an impact in the collectibles scene with NECA's release of Gears Of war action figures. After the success achieved by the huge Xbox 360 franchise, a decision was made to bring GoW toys to the ever booming market. Popularity will continue to grow as there has been word the game is soon to become a movie, as well as the confirmed finale to the series; Gears 3 to be released in April of 2011.

Action Figures Series One

The first release of toys based on the massively exciting Xbox 360 game was made public in the middle of 2008; much to the delight of fans nationwide. NECA was able to recreate some stunning, high quality figures which were lifelike and as close to those characters in the game as possible.

This first set included Marcus Fenix, Delta Squad leader as well as fellow COG Augustus Cole. Not to mention the two horrible (in a good way), Locusts, Locust Drone and Locust Snipe. A box set was made readily available for fans, as well as single boxes of each character. These also included all extra accessories and a head that could be substituted for either Locust.

Series Two

After the first series' success, NECA was given the go ahead to create another set of Gears Of war toys; which were released later on in 2008, November. Promising signs were shown in terms of added articulation, quality was maintained and the figures please many fans.

Four new additions were added, Dominic Santiago and Damon Baird (fellow COGs) as well as the Theron Guards, Marcus Fenix received a touch or two and was released once again.

Series Three

The third set of NECA's toys were released at the beginning of 2009. Four new in game characters were transferred to be created as real world models.

Once again a new version of Delta Squad leader, Marcus was released - he had received some note able retouching, requested by fans. A COG soldier (who I believe is Benjamin Carmine) was created, as well as a Theron palace Guard, Locust grappler and variation of the Locust Cyclops. Once again, the figures included in game accessories and weapons.

Fallout 3 Caps

Fallout 3 is the ground-breaking, best-selling video game from Bethesda Softworks. The game is like no other, in that you start off the game as a small baby, and follow his life right up until your 19th birthday, when you are allowed to leave the vault, in order to find your father, who mysteriously disappeared.

In the post-apocalyptic world that the game is set in, bottle caps are now the currency (all remains of Dollars, Euros and Sterling have long-gone). Bottle caps work in the way that you would expect - one cap is essentially the same as one Dollar.

Earning Fallout 3 caps is a tough but necessary part of the game, since you need money in order to buy things, such as new weapons or health-related items. There are, however, some easy ways to quickly acquire a large amount of caps. Firstly, you can make a lot of caps by selling cigarettes and pre-war money - both can be found fairly commonly.

There are certain perks that you can gain to help you build up your collection of Fallout 3 caps. For example, if you have the 'strength' perk and the 'strong back' perk you can carry more items at any one time. This will shorten the amount of trips that you need to take to do anything, meaning you can earn more Fallout 3 caps faster. Also, if you have assigned perks so that you're good at lock picking, you can find a house in 'Minefield Town' that has a tonne of loot inside the safe, just waiting to be robbed. You'll need to be good at lock picking to open the safe.

One of the best and most easily repeatable ways of making money is to hunt creatures, and then sell their meet on to customers.
