Find the Best of Birthstone Gift

A birthstone is a gift of a precious material (jewelry, mainly gemstones; themselves traditionally associated with various qualities) that symbolizes the month of birth (in the Gregorian Calendar). It is sometimes also called birthday stone (cf. infra; but that word is, confusingly, sometimes used as a synonym for an anniversary gift, which is related to the recipient’s age, that is, year of birth).

There have been many different sets of birthstones used throughout history and in different cultures. In 1912, in an effort to standardize them, the American national association of jewelers, Jewelers of America, officially adopted the following list; it is currently the most widely used list in the United States and many other locations, including Australia and Thailand. Some alternates have been adopted to be a less expensive substitute for a cut stone.

Monday : Pearl(the only organic gem)

Door to door They trick or treat
For something sweet to eat

Jack-o’-lanterns all aglow
So the ancient stories go

They celebrated harvest time
With gifts of food and wine

Candles glow
Spirits go
Bringing luck and fortune too
This is what they knew

Halloween, Halloween
Now they call it Halloween
Skulls and bones
Create the scene
Very scary Halloween

Let’s have fun on Halloween
Witches fly
And children scream

THE LABYRINTH UNDERGROUND
(The PHANTOM and CHRISTINE take their
strange journey to the PHANTOM’S lair. Candles
rise from the stage. We see CHRISTINE and the
PHANTOM in a boat which moves slowly across
the misty waters of the underground lake)
CHRISTINE
In sleep
he sang to me,
in dreams
he came . . .
that voice
which calls to me
and speaks
my name . . .
And do
I dream again?
For now
I find
the Phantom of the Opera
is there –
inside my mind . . .
PHANTOM
Sing once
again with me
our strange
duet . . .
My power
over you
grows stronger
yet . . .
And though
you turn from me,
to glance
behind,
the Phantom of the Opera
is there –
inside your mind . . .
CHRISTINE
Those who
have seen your face
draw back
in fear . . .
I am
the mask you wear . . .
PHANTOM
It’s me
they hear . . .
BOTH
Your/my spirit
and your/my voice,
in one
combined:
the Phantom of the Opera
is there
inside your/my mind . . .
OFFSTAGE VOICES
He’s there,
the Phantom of the Opera . . .
Beware
the Phantom of the Opera . . .
PHANTOM
In all
your fantasies,
you always
knew
that man
and mystery . . .
CHRISTINE
. . . were both
in you . . .
BOTH
And in
this labyrinth,
where night
is blind,
the Phantom of the Opera
is there/here
inside your/my mind . . .
Sing, my Angel of Music!
CHRISTINE
He’s there,
the Phantom of the Opera . . .

Halloween costumes are outfits worn on or around October 31, the day of Halloween. Halloween is a modern-day holiday originating in the Pagan Celtic holiday of Samhain (in Christian times, the eve of All Saints Day). Although popular histories of Halloween claim that the practice goes back to ancient celebrations of Samhain, in fact there is little primary documentation of masking or costuming on Halloween before the twentieth century. Costuming became popular for Halloween parties in America in the early 1900s, as often for adults as for children. The first mass-produced Halloween costumes appeared in stores in the 1930s when trick-or-treating was becoming popular in the United States.What sets Halloween costumes apart from costumes for other celebrations or days of dressing up is that they are often designed to imitate supernatural and scary beings. Costumes are traditionally those of monsters such as vampires, ghosts, witches and devils. There are also costumes of pop culture figures like presidents, or film, television, and cartoon characters. Another popular trend is for women (and in some cases, men) to use Halloween as an excuse to wear particularly revealing costumes, showing off more skin than would be socially acceptable otherwise.

Halloween costume parties generally fall on, or around, October 31, often falling on the Friday or Saturday prior to Halloween.

7 Classic Movie Monsters

1. Frankenstein Movies — 1931 (Universal Pictures)

Halloween Movie & DVD - Frankenstein Halloween Movie & DVD - Frankenstein

Not the first Frankenstein film, but the first full-on Hollywood treatment of Mary Shelley’s classic book. Brilliantly directed by James Whale, Frankenstein is in fact the name of the mad scientist and monster-maker. Then unknown, Boris Karloff plays the nameless monster, who manages to evoke sympathy from the audience despite his grotesque form, hideous face and shocking violence. Watch the original and its fabulous sequel, and then watch the inspired Mel Brooks spoof, Young Frankenstein.

2. The Bride of Frankenstein Movies –1935 (Universal Pictures)


Halloween Movie & DVD - The Bride of FrankensteinHalloween Movie & DVD - The Bride of Frankenstein

This amazing sequel is campy as they come, and actually a little better than the first film. James Whale directs Karloff again, anticipating all the spoofs that were to come with this bizarre, weirdly comic film. Elsa Lanchester plays Mary Shelley in the prologue, and also the nameless Bride of the Monster. Here again, the title is meant to refer to the bride of the scientist, but Lanchester’s electric bouffant from hell made her The Bride of Frankenstein forevermore. Her shriek when she sees her intended is one of the great movie screams of all time.

3. Dracula Movies — 1931 (Universal Pictures)

Halloween Movie & DVD - DraculaHalloween Movie & DVD - DraculaHalloween Movie & DVD - Dracula

Okay, this was a hit back in the day, but it really drags compared to many of the terrific Dracula films that were to come. Nevertheless, it launched Bela Lugosi as the first American movie version of the hypnotic, undead count and his blood-drinking ways, and established the character in movie mythology. Lugosi is fun in the role, and the film has some lovely cinematography, but he’s just not as sexy as many of the screen Draculas who came later. Let’s face it, vampires are supposed to be hot. Lugosi, not so much anymore.

4. King Kong Movies –1933 (RKO Radio Pictures)

Halloween Movie & DVD - King KongHalloween Movie & DVD - King KongHalloween Movie & DVD - King Kong

Still good fun, this rip-roaring, low-budget old film swings from the forests of Skull Island to the canyons of Manhattan. King Kong was the first of the great big beasties to grace the big screen, fighting with pterodactyls and giant snakes on his home turf. He is eventually undone by the modern world and his erotic fascination with the “Queen of Screams,” Fay Wray. A monster hit, its stop-action silliness was revolutionary at the time, and King Kong has been remade again and again. Make sure you get the restored version, where Kong picks off Fay’s diaphanous clothing with his enormous fingers, the big ape.

5. Mummy Movies –1932

Halloween Movie & DVD - MummyHalloween Movie & DVD - MummyHalloween Movie & DVD - Mummy

Moody, atmospheric and restrained, this is more of a dark love story than a real chiller. Boris Karloff is The Mummy, dry as dust, searching over the centuries for his long-lost love. German expressionist director Karl Freund keeps the monster under wraps (sorry) for most of the movie, and the scene where the mummy first awakens and opens his eye under a linen strap is unforgettable. Karloff was the king of the early movie monsters, and here he rules again, allowing the essential humanity of his supernatural character to somehow seep out from under the costume and the makeup.

6. The Invisible Man Movies -1933

Halloween Movie & DVD - Invisible ManHalloween Movie & DVD - Invisible ManHalloween Movie & DVD - Invisible Man

Another entry in the mad scientist run amok genre, the special effects in The Invisible Man hold up pretty well – a tribute to James Whale’s expert direction. A very young Claude Rains stars as the hero who is in fact unseen for most of the film, causing mayhem among the villagers, laughing insanely and plotting world domination. It’s got Whale’s touches of dark humor throughout, but a cackling performance by Una O’Connor as a terrorized innkeeper gets awfully old. Still, one of the best of the old black and whites.

7. The Wolf Man Movies -1941

Halloween Movie & DVD - Wolf ManHalloween Movie & DVD - Wolf ManHalloween Movie & DVD - Wolf Man

One of Hollywood’s original classic monsters, The Wolf Man was not a literary character like Frankenstein or Dracula, but a myth made for the silver screen. Lon Chaney, Jr., whose famous father had played in the early, silent versions of The Phantom of the Opera and The Hunchback Of Notre Dame, gives his best performance here (the many sequels in which he appeared are pretty lame.) The film is chiefly notable for the stop-motion scenes of the wolf’s transformation, achieved with a rubbery snoot and yak hair. Not too scary, I’m afraid, but it established another enduring legend for remakes, parodies and retellings.

Halloween Foods & Desserts Recipe

LET’S TASTE A SWEET HALLOWEEN TREATS…

Halloween Treats - Candy


Candy Apple

Halloween Treats - Candy AppleHalloween Treats - Candy Apple

8-10 small to medium apples, washed and dried
wooden skewers or popsicle sticks, for apples

Ingredients:

Candy syrup:
1 cup water
3 cups sugar
1/2 cup white corn syrup
1/4 cup red hot candies
1/2 teaspoon red food coloring

Preparation:

Insert wooden skewers into the stem end of each apple.

In a large (at least 2 quarts) aluminum heavy pot, stir the candy syrup mixture together until sugar dissolves. On medium heat, bring mixture to boiling without stirring. Do not stir, and let boil until mixture reads 290-300 F on a candy thermometer (or when a drop makes hard threads in cold water). This takes about 20 minutes, depending on type of pan and amount of heat.

Remove pan from heat and immediately tilt pan and swirl each apple quickly to coat. Allow a second for excess to drip, then set apples on a greased cookie sheet to cool and harden. If syrup in pot thickens too fast, return pot to low heat, then continue.

Let apples cool at least one hour before serving. Wrap each apple in a square of clear plastic wrap to keep moist air from making them sticky. (Don’t use waxed paper!)

Caution: Do not ever double the recipe; it works best when made in single batches.

Wicked Cupcakes

Halloween Treats - Wicked Cupcakes

Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces fine-quality semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cups prune juice
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoons salt
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Frosting:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
4-ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1 drop food coloring (green), optional

Chocolate wafer cookies
Licorice strips
Toasted coconut
Small candies

Special equipment: 12 (1/2-cup) muffin cups with paper liners

For the cupcakes: Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F. Set liners in muffin cups.

Preparation:

Put the chocolate and prune juice in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in the microwave on low power, stirring occasionally, until completely melted.
Whisk the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl, beat the egg and yolk with an electric hand mixer at high speed until slightly thick and lemon colored, about 3 minutes. Slowly add buttermilk, oil, vanilla, and melted chocolate mixture to eggs, beating until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined.

Divide the batter among muffin tins, filling them 1/2 of the way. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcakes comes out clean and the tops spring back when pressed gently, about 25 minutes. Cool the cupcakes in the tin on a rack for 10 minutes then remove from the tin and cool completely.

For the frosting: Beat the butter, peanut butter, and cream cheese in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and milk mixing until the frosting is smooth. Add food coloring as desired. Refrigerate the frosting until firm.

To decorate the cakes: For the witches hat, score a circle in the middle of a cupcake. Cut a deep cone-like shape with a knife held at an angle. Rotate the cupcake to complete the circle and remove the center. Repeat with all the cupcakes. Generously scoop or pipe enough frosting into the center of each cupcake to fill the whole and to come over the cake to make a face. Top with a chocolate wafer cookie. Put a dot of frosting in the middle of the wafer cookie and invert the cone shaped piece of cake on top to make a witches hat. Use skinny licorice, toasted coconut or cereal flakes for hair and candies for eyes and/or nose. Refrigerate for up to 30 minutes before serving.
