Strong coarse language and violence
Director: | Joel Schumacher |
Actors: | Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, Ben Mendelsohn, Liana Liberato, Cam Gigandet, Jordana Spiro, Dash Mihok |
In a private, wealthy community, priority is placed on security and no exception is made for the Miller family's estate. Behind their pristine walls and manicured gardens, Kyle, a fast-talking businessman, has entrusted the mansion's renovation to his stunning wife, Sarah. But between making those big decisions and keeping tabs on their defiant teenage daughter, Sarah often finds herself distracted by a young, handsome worker at their home. Nothing is what it seems, and it will take a group of cold-blooded criminals lead by Elias, who have been planning a vicious home invasion for months, to bring the miller family together. When they storm the manor, everyone is tangled up in betrayal, deception, temptation and scheming. Kyle, Sarah and Avery will take the ultimate risk to make it out with their lives - and their family - intact.

BULK-UP vs. MAX-BULK
a true Prohormone stand off..
MAX-BULK vs. BULK-UP
So whats the difference between BULK-UP and MAX-BULK you ask??
Well, lets get straight to the point; the refined combination in MAX-BULKs Advanced DHEA Complex has a precise balance of 4-DHEA and 19-Nor-4-DHEA enabling it to have lower androgenic activity. With lower androgenic activity; this can produce a more mild and reserved demeanor from you and overall less possible side effects like: prostate, hypertrophy, irritability or hair loss (e.g. DHT) (10,19).
However BULK-UPs Advanced DHEA Complex is meant to support a more aggressive feeling with its synergistic balance of: aDHEA, bDHEA and 4-DHEA. Allowing for more strength through its aggression. So you see while both serve a function and provide near results, each provides its own strength. Are you The Calm Gainer or The Aggressive fighter?
MAX-BULK loggers, come out where ever you are! We're looking for loggers!

I need to find Quest For Fire and watch it again.....mufukkin Rae Dawn Chong....
Supposedly the area where Neanderthals and Homo Sapiens co-existed the longest was in the middle east? Im not sure how they can make such a blanket statement after testing two bones from specimen in Spain but i agree that if anything even remotely human-looking is walking around, some dude is gonna stick his dick in it.
I don't understand these kraut-studies: just because they can't find newer evidence of Neanderthals in Europe does not necessarily mean they went extinct. Had the krauts gone to North Philly they would know Neanderthals are alive and actively breeding in the United States.
ok, who writes "goo goo at a at a, fukin jew heeb"?
"fuckyoubigot i dont like you're sig" "repeated annoying comments"

thanks for the proof that carbon dating is wildly inaccurate
When the Author walks onto the stage, the play is over.
Mathew will claim that science is all bullshit but believes the bible is all the proof he needs.
Yea the new method actually dates things later. Dope.
The problem is that the warm climate on the Iberian peninsula quickly degrades a key protein used in so-called radiocarbon dating.The researchers were only able to test bones from two of the 11 known Neanderthal sites in Spain. They were subjected to a new method called "ultrafiltration." This removes more recent carbon molecules that have contaminated the bones and made them appear younger than they actually are.Such techniques often lead to older radiocarbon dates, said, Chris Stringer, a senior research fellow at Britain's Natural History Museum. "Science moves on and technology moves on,
There seems to be a few neanderthals who post at Dawg's.
funny you should ask
what people are calling neanderthals (which they used to call stupid toolless monkeys) are just the people who lived to be upwards of 969 years old.
skulls don't stop growing, and brows thicken with age.
the bones are bones of our forefathers, not a "missing link"

text: Buffalo, NY (WBEN) The Bills and Erie County lawmakers huddled Tuesday for the first time on a new lease for Ralph Wilson Stadium. For Legislator Kevin Hardwick, the question is about money, namely the county's $100 million-plus share. "One of the questions I have is whether they can justify that in terms of sales tax, in numbers of millionaires living here and spending here and paying property taxes, and the Bills are going to get back to us on that information," says Hardwick. "I think it can be justified, but you have to realize the Bills are not so much leasing a stadium as we are leasing a football team." Hardwick says the state can certainly recoup its end, but whether it's a wash for the county remains up in the air. A group pursuing a downtown stadium also went before the legislature. Hardwick says it was an impressive presentation, but he notes the Bills and this group are not in competition. The downtown stadium group is looking down the road, notes Hardwick.

Following a temporary closure to begin transformation works, IWM London has partially re-opened with a major new family exhibition Horrible Histories®: Spies, a new art exhibition Architecture of War and IWM Contemporary, a new programme showcasing significant works by leading artists in response to war and conflict.
Our free permanent galleries and exhibitions have also reopened. Visitors can explore what life was like at home during the Second World War in A Family in Wartime, delve further into the world of espionage in Secret War and visit our award-winning Holocaust Exhibition; discover stories of bravery in The Lord Ashcroft Gallery: Extraordinary Heroes; and view work by some of Britain's most significant 20th Century artists in our People's War: Second World War Portraits.
While the museum is partially open (until summer 2014) we will continue to transform IWM London behind the scenes.
During this time visitors will enter IWM London through our West Entrance, the atrium and large objects will be covered from view and there may be times of disruption as the works continue.
IWM London will re-open fully in summer 2014 with new First World War Galleries to mark the start of the Centenary, a new reconfigured atrium with large object displays, as well as our new shops and park-side café.

- 29 July 2013 — 5 May 2014 *on now
Through IWM's art collection, Architecture of War presents artists' responses to the impact of warfare on landscape and environments.
The selection spans almost a century of British art, from the First World War to the present day, and explores themes such as construction, destruction, cities and interiors.
Some artworks show the united purpose of humans and machines in factories, others show tension in divided cities. Many artists have used ruined buildings to symbolise the effects of warfare on people. Others show the claustrophobic conditions of control rooms and shelters.
Architecture of War displays oil paintings, prints, sketches, drawings, watercolours and photographs by artists including William Orpen, Ronald Searle, William Scott and Langlands and Bell.
Suitable for

Revealed: £127,000 spent by parties to buy YOUR vote
11:52am Tuesday 20th August 2013 in News By Tom Edwards
MORE than £127,000 is spent on trying to 'buy' the votes of Worcestershire people by political parties, it has emerged.
New figures show huge disparities in the amounts of cash being poured into parliamentary constituencies - with some voters deemed almost five times more important than others.
For people living in Peter Luff's Mid-Worcestershire area each vote was worth just 29p at the last general election - with a national campaign group calling it "worthless".
Parties poured £42,000 into hotly-contested Worcester, where each vote was worth 87p, and a whopping £70,000 into West Worcestershire - £1.31 per vote.
A national league table reveals how West Worcestershire, which belongs to Tory MP Harriett Baldwin, was one of the UK's biggest areas of political party spend.
The seat was ferociously contested because the Liberal Democrats targeted it for victory, partly due to previous Tory MP Sir Michael Spicer, who retired in 2010 and was sitting on a declining majority.
Mrs Baldwin eventually held it for the party with a 6,854 majority.
The spending revelations are likely to reopen the row over the way the main parties target a tiny number of seats which decide the outcome of general elections.
Chris Cheeseman, deputy chairman of West Worcestershire Conservative Association, said: "There was a perceived threat from the Lib Dems and the previous MPs majority was dwindling.
"Sir Michael Spicer held it for 30 years, and was there when the boundaries changed so instead of it being based around Evesham, Malvern became the focus.
"We knew we had to put more effort in."
Mr Luff's seat is among the safest Conservative strongholds in the country, with a 15,864 majority, meaning parties spent just £14,000 on it.
He said: "I was an incumbent MP and I'd worked hard over the previous years, blood sweat and tears.
"Any sitting MP in a solid seat who has to spend large amounts of money trying to keep it is a very bad MP - you don't win it at election time, you do it in the previous five years."
In Worcester, Tory MP Robin Walker grabbed the seat from Labour's Mike Foster with 2,982 more votes.
The £42,000 spend was a reflection of the importance both main parties put on trying to win it.
Roger Jenkins, secretary of Worcester Labour Party, said: "You wouldn't spend it if you thought you didn't need to - we did everything we could to try and win."
The data has been published by the Electoral Reform Society, which has criticised parties for creating "the ultimate postcode lottery" by treating people differently.
The society says the figures show how "all votes are not created equal" and that democracy suffers for it.
In Luton South, votes were worth a whopping £3.07 each, but in five seats not a single penny was spent because the outcome was deemed so certain.
Worcester £42,627.51 48,974 87p
West Worcestershire £70,697.85 54,093 £1.31
Mid-Worcestershire £14,602.32 50,931 29p

Given post election public response and poor satisfaction with our Highways, some may think its a waste of Council Tax Payers money that could probably have been best invested on other services.
Its common practice both nationally and locally and by all political parties. I can't wait to see what the Coalition spending spree will look like before the next election.

A recent study of showrooming activity is more bad news for retailers that subscribe to the conventional wisdom that mobile is a threat. But a couple of forward-thinking merchants -- Nordstrom and Best Buy -- are looking to use mobile to their advantage.
Some 43 percent of consumers showroom, according to a Harris Poll released this week. Best Buy and Walmart are the most popular showrooming destinations (24 percent and 22 percent). And Amazon is the most likely beneficiary of showrooming; more than half of showroomers said that's where they buy (57 percent), according to the poll.
Showroomers spend an average $211.80 per purchase.
But retailers aren't taking the competition lying down. In the latest effort to make brick-and-mortar shopping more attractive, retailers are tossing cash registers onto the junk heap, replacing them with mobile devices, according to a report on NPR.
The benefits: Mobile associates are more convenient than asking consumers to stand in cash register lines. And no cash register lines means less time for customers to change their minds about buying products and walk out. Also, mobile technology is often less expensive than traditional PoS, and removing cash registers frees up real estate in the store.
Nordstrom is a leader in this trend. It's replacing cash registers with modified iPod touch devices containing barcode scanners and credit card readers. When a customer finds merchandise they're ready to buy, a sales associate simply swipes the bar code and credit card, the customer signs with a fingertip, and is good to walk out the door.
"We think the days of the big clunky cash register... anchoring down a department are really going away," Nordstrom spokesman Colin Johnson told NPR.
And mobile is key to turnaround plans for Best Buy, says Stephen Gillett, the company's new VP of digital, global, marketing, and strategy, told Wired.
"We have a range of opportunities," he says. "There are challenges, but I like the set of cards I have been given."
Best Buy is closing stores -- a process that is limited by long-term leases. And the company is looking to turn remaining stores into an advantage by striking at mobile commerce's Achilles' heel. "People want to try before they buy, and they can't do that on Amazon," writes Wired.
And Best Buy marries its brick-and-mortar presence with its own online business. By revenue, it's the 11th largest e-commerce site, at about $3 billion per year. "That's a fraction of Amazon's electronics business and just 6 percent of Best Buy's total revenue, but it's growing by 15 to 20 percent every quarter," Wired says.
Retailers like Best Buy and Nordstrom are showing the way to beat showrooming. Instead of running away from mobile competition, retailers need to embrace it.

Circuit City's slogan used to be, "Where service is state of the art!" My wife and I used to joke that it was state of the art for the Soviet Union in 1965.
B. Krafte - I would not describe Best Buy as showing lack of vision. Quite the contrary, they've been aggressive online and enthusiastic adopters of marketing automation. I don't know why they've been struggling, but I suspect it has to do with real-estate costs they're contractually committed too, along with the usual difficulties of turning around a large enterprise.
I've had such problems with the commissions-driven assistants in clothing stores, that it's deteriorated into me circling the store, trying to get away from them, dodging around corners... Ridiculous. I've usually had the opposite experience in tech stores; can't find anyone on the floor.
First let me talk about my behavior, which I think many people can relate to. For electronics I do some research online, when I'm down to 2 or 3 options I go to Best Buy and get a better sense of them. But THEN, I almost always go online and look for the best prices.
How can Best Buy capture clients like me? They should add value and make me change my decision that price always beats everything else.
"People want to try before they buy, and they can't do that on Amazon"
Wired's assertion has a lot of truth to it and right that it can't be done within the confines of the strictly online marketplaces. The question is however, given Best Buy's and the others who have shown a lack of vision and imagination over the past decade, will they actually be able to pull off a marriage between their retail store presence and the online business?
Best Buy is certainly well positioned to do just that; transition its traditional retail model into a showroom model, redirecting the purchasing process to online, mobile and self-serve kiosk platforms. Leveraging their current retail presence by converting their more heavily trafficked stores into showrooms while closing the rest as leases expire would be a smart strategy. It will reduce costs, increase margins and potentially establish the company as distribution powerhouse (not to mention save themselves from complete self-destruction). If they do it right, they'll also use the opportunity to transform themselves into a customer-centric brand digging out from behind what has to be one of the worst customer service reputations among retailers.
kiranIE - Clingy sales associates aren't a technology issue -- they're a training issue. The associates should learn how to read a customer.
I do know what you mean, though. Sometimes I'll go into an electronics store just to pass the time, and sometimes I feel uncomfortable telling a sales associate, "Just browsing." Now that I've articulated that thought, it seems very silly though.
The Apple stores themselves are following the same model. And I have to say I was plesantly surprised when a rep helped me with one of the products and when I had made up my mind, immediately scanned my card in a handy machine- off I go! With that said, I do feel customers need some space for themselves. I need to be able to walk around the store and feel the product for myself. And I will admit most times the reason why I never get around to buy a certain thing is because the clingy salesman never leaves my side and allows me the comfort to experiace the product. I wonder having all the employess on the floor would further exaggerate this phenomenon.
You know I'm perfectly willing to shop online with an etailer without seeing a product, but it's the returning of things that irks me.
How about an etailer that simply has small customer service kiosks with a live representative to deal with things?
So, for example, I was all set to press the button and order a $67 dollar android tablet from someone I had not dealt with, but a few facets of their website made me question things.
I read some reviews and found both praise and some who said they could not return goods. (Of course now we can't trust reviews either!)
If I could just meet up at a mall with someone to assure me and answer those last nagging doubts...
lin cramption - Possibly people just have to get used to using the roving cashiers. And Nordstrom may have to do more to educate customers on their availability.
Ryck - The waiting point would only be used when the store is crowded and shortstaffed. Ideally, that wouldn't happen -- you'd want salespeople roaming the floor, available to customers when needed.

Forget the dome! Barbie is apparently the real enemy.
After Maxine (Natalie Zea) shoots Julia (Rachelle Lefevre) to punish Barbie (Mike Vogel) on Monday's Under the Dome, she discovers her mother's body in the water. Vowing vengeance, Max takes Barbie and Big Jim (Dean Norris) hostage, but they're able to get the upper hand. However, Big Jim kills Max and her crony, framing Barbie for it before condemning him over the radio to the town. Will Barbie be able to clear his name? And is he the Monarch who will be crowned? TVGuide.com turned to executive producer Neal Baer to get some answers: read more
Under the Dome's fourth hand has been revealed!
After it was pieced together that Junior (Alexander Koch) also had seizures growing up — coupled with the fact that his mother drew him as a child with pink stars — he joined Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz), Joe (Colin Ford) and Angie (Britt Robertson) at the mini-dome to discover that he is, in fact, the fourth hand that unlocks it. As the quartet placed their hands on the... read more
And the children shall inherit the Earth? That's apparently the theme of CBS' Under the Dome.
On the previous episode, "The Fourth Hand," Joe (Colin Ford), Norrie (Mackenzie Lintz) and Angie (Britt Robertson) discovered that the mini-dome could be unlocked if they each putting their hand to it. But they're missing one key: the titular "fourth hand." And for now it seems one of the eventual quartet is the Monarch the dome said would be crowned.
Going Under the Dome: Neal Baer answers burning questions on the dome's power
So, who is the Monarch? The obvious choice would be Angie, who became the latest person to suffer from seizures. Joe seemed to quash that theory, pointing out to Norrie that Angie's butterfly tattoo is not a Monarch. But Angie could actually still be a candidate. "Of... read more
Dale "Barbie" Barbara has always been a man of few words, but in the September 9 episode of Under the Dome it looks as though he has the right to remain silent.

What To Tell My Client?
Posted 21 February 2007 - 01:14 PM
When I search from several states away, he's listed #1 on MSN, and it's his home page.
I've tried to explain different IP addresses/different data centers, but he thinks since he is searching in his state, and his state is part of the keyword phrase that he should be listed as highly as he is when I search from a far away state.
Is there any other explanantion I can give him?

Additionally, I do screen grabs to show our clients how things can fluctuate from computer to computer, from search to search. I am fortunate that most of our clients understand that rankings can change and that getting hung up on one phrase isn't the best - even if they *think* they should rank number 1 for the one and only specific phrase.
Best of luck.

That no one controls the search engines, and you do everything the best you can and hope it all works out?
It's really, REALLY important to set the expectation upfront that you can't make the search engines do anything. Your job is to optimize the site for the best possible results, but you can't guarantee that anyone will be on page 1 all the time for any phrase.
Posted 22 February 2007 - 10:29 AM
In other words, because people often search for their own sites (to check rankings) and they then click on their own sites, the engines start skewing the results to give them what they (the engines) think they (the user) wants to see...
So client 1 will see their site in #1 on Google for keyword search "example widgets" simply because everytime they do that search (whilst logged in to Gmail or whatever) they click on their own site. As I'm not logged in to Gmail, I see the site in it's "real" position.
Just when you thought life couldn't get any more confusing.....

Personalized search will hopefully decrease the amount of rankings envy that many website owners suffer.

Let's hope so. I can just see some client searching for their competitor's web site and frantically wondering how to get their web site above their competitor's.
Posted 27 March 2007 - 07:41 AM
Here's my worry...
USEO (Unscrupulous SEO) signs up client for tens of thousands of dollars guaranteeing them that they can get them to Page One for whatever phrase(s) they want. Part of the instructions to Client is to sign up for a Google account, make sure they're logged into their account and scroll through page after page to find their site. Once they find it they need to click on it because this "tells Google the site is important" and should be ranked better. Client needs to do this at least 3 times per week.
A couple of months down the road Client sees their site sitting at #3 in their personalized results, is very, very happy because they don't understand any better and think their USEO is doing a wonderful job. Reality is the site is still not in the top 100 for anybody else. Client doesn't find out what's really happening til years down the road and many, many thousands of dollars later.
I really hope that Google etal have put some thought into how they're going to display personalized results. It sure does open a big can-o-worms for those who have no morals to take advantage of.

- " This is not the place to stay if you want more than 3 hours of sleep! People were noisy and some indescribable sound that we don't know where came from kept us awake pretty much all night. At 6.30 in the morning builders start rebuilding somewhere in the house and making a lot of noise too! The room was dirty especially the bathroom! The free breakfast was very poor and there was no clean dishes! The WIFI was pretty expensive and had a poor connection. The only good thing is the location. "
- 12 Nov 2013 Anonymous Denmark
- " Stayed in a Double en-suite room and it suited our needs as somewhere to base whilst exploring Melbourne. WiFi didn't reach to our room on 9th Floor, but we could have gone down to the lounge on the 3rd floor to use our allocated 1 hour free WiFi. Room was clean and as expected for the price - no air-con but the fan above the bathroom kept it cool as it was only 20-25C. Entrance to building is hidden away and took us a couple of attempts to find the way in. "

- " there was no hot water in the showers, only one working elevator in 11 floors building, Internet did'nt work, Laundry run out of the laundry cards and there was a night club at downs stairs keeping noise until 5 am. Staff was very rude and didnt wanna fix the problems. I stayed there one week and they were only able to fix the laundry. "

Patricia Persson isn't just early. She's 13 minutes early.
This queen of etiquette could hardly be mistaken for anyone else as she stands — perfect posture, polished fingernails and pressed clothing — in the doorway of Café Americano, waiting to share her expertise on dining savvy, social etiquette and communication.
A certified executive etiquette consultant from the International School of Protocol, Persson's method, "Persson to person," is hands-on and Socratic: She teaches the concept, hoping to make it interesting, and follows up with a fun activity and discussion.
"Since I started teaching, I find that students are hungry for rules," Persson said. "Once they know the rules, they are more active, give more smiles, are more confident and take control."
Persson, who has been developing curriculum and teaching for 14 years, instructs four-week and 12-week etiquette classes targeted at children ages 6 to 13 and ages 13 to 17, in addition to White Gloves Table Manners for Teens, a social etiquette class, similar to Cotillion, that includes a student workbook.
Persson had originally scheduled the White Gloves Table Manners for Teens class for Nov. 21, just before Thanksgiving. She hoped to prep teenagers for the holiday arrival of their grandparents or other relatives by teaching them vital information, such as how to pass the salt and pepper. (Hint: The shakers are married and always travel together.) But this particular class has been postponed; spring and summer 2010 class information will be available in December.
All classes interrelate, and students learn not only proper manners, but also how to dress appropriately for dinner, cleanliness, conversation skills and how to seat themselves.
Persson says she's gotten used to the funny questions that constantly arise — from both children and adults.
"Second-graders will say, 'I'm left-handed, so I'm going to shake hands with my left hand.' At a seminar on dining, one attorney refused to take the straw out of his beverage," Persson said. "It's all about getting people to become comfortable and enjoy life and going from there. You have to capture them and joke around, because if it's not fun, it's not worth doing."
Programs are designed for separate age groups (ages 6 to 13 and ages 13 to 17) in four- or 12-week courses that start at $80. White Gloves Table Manners for Teens is a separate course that costs $86. Consulting seminars for executives are also available. For more information, call 350-6238 or e-mail email@example.com.
Table manners. You will learn dining techniques such as setting the table; holding utensils American-style or Continental-style; different glassware and dishes; the art of serving and receiving food; and how to be the perfect host and guest.
Social etiquette. This program builds confidence and self-esteem through greetings and handshakes; common courtesies; etiquette in public places; acts of kindness and respect; behaviors as a good host and guest; and personal image and interviewing.
Communication skills. A program designed to develop character that includes proper greetings and introductions; conversation and listening skills; and public-speaking skills.

We are showing you the Australian version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
1000 Christmas Kilometres
Graeme Raeburn is unwell. The Rapha product designer has a cold (nothing he can't handle) but he has also decided to do what most people definitely won't at this festive juncture, and that's ride 1000km during one week. Admirable but somewhat deranged. He explains below:
I've always wanted to do a 1000km in a week, it seems a nice amount but I always falter around the 800 mark due to work commitments or other distractions. I started thinking it would be interesting to do it in the middle of winter. The idea of sitting on my backside eating chocolates fills me with horror, so what better time than the week between Christmas Day and New Years Eve?
Not only is this a chance to properly test products and think about improvements, but also to know what a professional rider feels like in the middle of winter: Imagine your next season relying on the ability to endure the adverse conditions, head down, churning out a set amount of miles per week. There's no-one to lie to apart from yourself.
I'm trying to give each day a different feel for variety, and hopefully ride with some guest riders along the way.
I asked Guy, editor of Rouleur and writer of books on race training, for advice to gain the most out of the miles. He simply said 'you are mad'.
So what am I worried about? getting ill, maintaining the bike, the weather, the temperature, short daylight hours, eating enough, the boredom and mental fatigue. I've prepared for all this, apart from the last as somehow I've lost my iPod.
Weather in most of the UK is currently snow and sub zero, but the South East has thawed over the past 24hrs. Tomorrow holds an early morning run to the South Coast to deliver a present to great-aunt Tess.
We are awaiting an update on whether great-aunt Tess got her Christmas present safely.

Go Graeme! I'm sure the toasty Rapha gear you're wearing will sweeten the journey. Not sure where you'll be logging these kilometers, but you should definitely plan to ride in the London-Edinburgh-London (1400km) audax ride in 2013. It was a blast last summer and my Rapha kit made the soggy miles not only more bearable, but totally enjoyable. Paris-Brest-Paris in 2011 would be another good test of Rapha gear. Be sure to let me know if you need anyone to help test anything!

Raeburn reporting in; Thanks for all the comments and words of support, it's nice to hear from you.
It's going well, slightly tougher than I was anticipating, partly due to the daylight hours, partly due to the temperature taking more out of me than I thought. Weather has been favourable, although Tuesday looks hellish. Some write-ups and pictures coming soon, including today's ride out with a guest rider…
Thanks Gem, thank goodness the snow did melt (great blog, if people haven't seen it: http://bianchista.blogspot.com)
George, great to hear you were comfortable on the LEL and thanks for the suggestion. Yep, it's been on the radar ever since it clashed with the 24hrtt this year.
Mr Staples, the Portland 'cross scene is equally inspiring, hope you've had a good season Sir

Halloween is a time of fun, but it can also turn dangerous as decorations and candles can be a fire hazard.
The National Fire Protection Association reports that there were an average of 1,000 fires involving decorations each year between 2006-2010, which resulted in an average of six deaths and 53 injuries and $16 million in property damage. Over that same five-year period, 11,640 home fires started by candles, which resulted in 126 deaths, 953 injuries and $438 million in property damage.
"Just about everyone loves a good scare on Halloween, but not when it comes to safety," said Lorraine Carli, NFPA's vice president of Outreach and Advocacy. "Costumes with billowing or long trailing fabric and candle decorations should be avoided to keep fun events from turning into tragedies."
NFPA provides these Halloween safety tips:
- When choosing a costume, stay away from billowing or long trailing fabric. If you are making your own costume, choose material that won't easily ignite if it comes into contact with heat or flame. If your child is wearing a mask, make sure the eye holes are large enough so they can see out.
- Provide children with flashlights to carry for lighting or glow sticks as part of their costume.
- Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper are highly flammable. Keep these and other decorations well away from all open flames and heat sources, including light bulbs and heaters.
- It is safest to use a flashlight or battery-operated candles in a jack-o-lantern. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o-lanterns, use long fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far away from trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways, and yards.
- If you choose to use candle decorations, make sure to keep them well attended at all times.
- Remember to keep exits clear of decorations, so nothing blocks escape routes.
- Tell children to stay away from open flames. Be sure they know how to stop, drop and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.)
- Use flashlights as alternatives to candles or torch lights when decorating walkways and yards. They are much safer for trick-or-treaters, whose costumes may brush against the lighting.

Featured guesthouses in Kruger National Park
Spectacular Stomping Ground of the Big FiveCovering almost 2 million hectares, Kruger is South Africa's most important national park and is home to the Big Five: lion, African elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. In the country's north-eastern corner, by the Swaziland and Mozambique borders, it also sees giraffe, zebra, hyena and crocodile (to name but a few) grace its watering holes and rivers. Of the 8 South African gates to the park, Crocodile Bridge Gate is closest to Marloth Park and Komatipoort, both housing a good selection of game lodges and hotels near Kruger National Park. To the west, the farming town of Malelane has its own gate. Kruger Mpumalanga Airport is the region's main entry point and nearby Nelspruit has the greatest concentration of luxury Kruger Park hotels on Booking.com. The Numbi Gate is around an hour's drive away, via the town of White River. Also near this gate is Hazyview, while Sabie to the west is peacefully located by a river fed by waterfalls. A waterfall also plunges to the gorge floor in Graskop to the north, while Hoedspruit is closest to the wonderful Blyde River Canyon. Ha-Lambani has the northernmost Kruger Park accommodation and Phalaborwa to the south has a park gate. Further south are the Timbavati and Balule games reserves, while Skukuza is in the heart of the park, near the main gate. Recently added properties in Kruger National Park
