The Pooka is the Anglicisation of the Old Gaelic word Puca, it refers to the most feared and respected fairy in Celtic folklore. According to legend, the Puca can metamorphose into a wide variety of shapes, it may appear as a horse, rabbit, goat, dog or goblin. However, it most commonly assumes the shape of a dark horse with yellow eyes, it roams the countryside at night smashing down fences and gates, terrifying and scattering livestock.

Certain agricultural traditions surround the Puca, at the end of harvesting, a small deformed goblin shows up in search of a small share of the crops, if he is not placated he will wreak havoc, so the croppers leave behind a small amount of the crop which has become known as the Puca's share to satisfy the ravenous goblin. Only one man ever managed to tame a puca - Brian Boru, when high King of Ireland, managed to ride a puca until it surrendered to his will. He forced the puca to make two promises - firstly that he would no longer torment Christians and secondly that he would no longer attack Irishmen except those who were drunk are were roaming with evil intent.

The puca agreed but has the centuries rolled by it forgot it's bargain and returned to it's old ways. However, in some areas the Puca is spoke about with quite an amount of deference and is treated with more respect than fear. It is stated that if the Puca is treated with respect they can actually turn out to be beneficial rather than malevolent.

Halloween - Television Version (Limited Edition)

Halloween is as pure and undiluted as its title. In the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois, a teenage baby sitter tries to survive a Halloween night of relentless terror, during which a knife-wielding maniac goes after the town's hormonally charged youths. Director John Carpenter takes this simple situation and orchestrates a superbly mounted symphony of horrors. It's a movie much scarier for its dark spaces and ominous camera movements than for its explicit bloodletting (which is actually minimal). Composed by Carpenter himself, the movie's freaky music sets the tone; and his script (cowritten with Debra Hill) is laced with references to other horror pictures, especially Psycho. The baby sitter is played by Jamie Lee Curtis, the real-life daughter of Psycho victim Janet Leigh; and the obsessed policeman played by Donald Pleasence is named Sam Loomis, after John Gavin's character in Psycho. In the end, though, Halloween stands on its own as an uncannily frightening experience--it's one of those movies that had audiences literally jumping out of their seats and shouting at the screen. ("No! Don't drop that knife!") Produced on a low budget, the picture turned a monster profit, and spawned many sequels, none of which approached the 1978 original. Curtis returned for two more installments: 1981's dismal Halloween II, which picked up the story the day after the unfortunate events, and 1998's occasionally gripping Halloween H20, which proved the former baby sitter was still haunted after 20 years. --Robert Horton
Customer Review: Classic Parts Are Much Better Than The Whole
In my eyes there are two categories of people when speaking of favorite holiday slasher films: those that like 1974's Black Christmas to those who rather prefer 1978's Halloween. Count me a part of the former's category, as Black Christmas is a forgotten perfected-diamond that not only chills the marrow, but is also intentionally hilarious in spots. Halloween, however, is a pretty good movie, damn near great in spots, in fact. Although it features scenes not only worthy of Psycho, and of which have found their rightful place inside classical cinema, yet the parts are indeed better than the whole. Halloween's approximate first 11 minutes and final 36 minutes (yup, I checked the runtime) are truly the reason the film is held in high proverb-- it's too bad that that only makes up a little over ½ of the film's total length. Halloween may in fact have a greater affinity for art-house horror fans like myself, than blood-and-guts fans, so I almost hate to say it, as Halloween I also remember fondly from my younger years, and it is one of those films that got me obsessed with horror, but nostalgia should never get in the way of being an honest and fair critic (or wannabe critic.) Halloween is a good movie, but damn that middle section sure is mightily flawed, and even seems cheesy in parts. Yet, the term arty can also be applied to the good parts of the film, as well. Yet, I hate to use that term "art-house horror movie", as that implies that horror is on the contrary, but I believe when viewing Halloween that it does in fact fit. This is due to the way John Carpenter directs the movie: stylish and relying on Hitchcockian-like suspense and a real sense of horror, rather than bodycount. I also must first point out that the dialogue throughout the film is actually one of the best components of the script. Often the everyday conversations about normal day things that Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) and her school friends have does in fact seem natural, rather than boring. Though we don't necessarily "know" the characters all that well from a literary perspective, we do like them, as they seem like any real life type of girls that both you or I might know in high school. Yet, the overbearing dialogue exchanges between Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) and the Sheriff (Charles Cyphers) seems necessary, it's also too bad it's not known until about that 55 minute mark. As the masterful opening scene, and its follow up "escape from the hospital scene" is long forgotten after about another 45 minutes of misstepping true scares. As although the mask-wearing Myers may be indeed a scary villain, not due so much to the ice-cold way he dispatches the characters, but much more due to the fact that he truly feels like evil incarnate. Yet, it also must be said that the way that Dr. Loomis perceives Myers in dialogue at first seems like it's overblown, lame, and not natural. What doctor really talks of a patient in high-strung, diabolical terms: "Death has come to your little town, sheriff." To the films credit, however, although it at first slips into this "only in Hollywood" jargon, yet that is later completely evaded and it even becomes justified when we do later in fact agree with him in that final act when this "bogeyman" character is finally put and secured into a menacing night backdrop. Because, as good as John Carpenter is as generating suspense and menace in the terror scenes, in the initial daylight stalking scenes sadly lack that blood luster. As framing a character that your film makes out to the "The Bogeyman" not just in daylight, but also (hilariously) standing outside a school window just next to laundry, honestly brings a roll of the eyes, and a bad smile to my lips. Then having this evil character possibly hide behind bushes and a bed sheet makes me cover my eyes with my hands, shaking my head. Call me cynical, but it truly feels like two different kinds of films throughout the acts: a masterful frightshow, then a cheesy B-movie, and then back to a white-knuckle terror ride. In conclusion, despite that I still like Halloween and even if its opening scenes and final act are amongst my favorites, I must admit that in parts I can't really take the bogeyman threat that serious. Sorry. Score: 8.0 / 10.0 (In 0.5 increments)
Customer Review: My Favorite Movie Of All Time!
I was only 2 when it was released in theaters but growing up in the 80's it became and instant classic to me. Thank You John Carpenter for making Awesome Movies! And Thank You Mom for letting me watch all those horror movies growing up.

As with airplane simulators, RC helicopter flight simulators have come a long way. From weak graphics, they have evolved into programs you can immerse yourself in.

The remote control simulator software for helicopters is very similar to the airplane software, and in most cases is sold as a single package. In other cases, the helicopter simulations are sold as add on programs to the main software. The RC helicopter, like its real counterpart, is quite a bit different in its handling and flight characteristics from an RC airplane. If you are planning on flying RC helicopters, it is important to make sure that your selection is designed for them and not just for airplanes.

The basic difference in helicopter flight and airplane flight is in the taking off and landing. The helicopter does not need a runway, and its ability to move straight up and down as well as hover requires much less space for flight. This is one of the things that have made RC helicopters increasingly popular in the RC hobby field.

The top rated simulators for airplanes are also the best for helicopters. An example is the Great Planes RealFlight B3.5 simulator. This top of the line software program comes with an assortment of airplane and helicopter types. It also features a great many add on to increase the number and variety of models. Each add on gives you something like fourteen different planes and four or five new helicopter models from which to chose.

Some RC simulators are available online as downloads. One of the highest rated of this type is the Clearview RC Flight Simulator. Although you have to pay to download the software, this is a very advanced simulator. It is especially attractive to helicopter fans because although the program is for both planes and helicopters, it talks of its helicopter models first as if they are most proud of their variety there. The Clearview RC Simulator is designed to use a variety of controls. It is possible to control it via your keyboard. For advanced users, a handheld transmitter is used and attached to the PC with a USB cable.

The ability to simulate all types of conditions and flying areas and control the program with a transmitter similar to the actual one is the true advantage of RC simulation programs. It is a way to learn to fly your RC model in safety. It is the place to learn without risking your expensive models. There is a certain amount of risk involved in RC flight, but the trained operate can minimize this greatly.

Making jewelry is a fun hobby and for some can become a full time business. At the very least, you will be able to make gorgeous and unique jewelry to wear and give as gifts. As with any hobby, you need to start with the basics and using memory wire to make jewelry is a method that requires a bit less skill than some of the others. Memory wire jewelry does not need a clasp or fancy crimping and one size fits all.

Memory wire is flexible wire that springs back to its original form when not stretched - kind of like a slinky. It comes in necklace, bracelet and ring sizes. You simply cut off a section to the size you want and string on beads!

Of course, the first step (and the most fun) is to decide on the beads! Some people are inspired by artisan made lampwork beads, others by gemstones beads and still others by the vast array of crystal beads. Some like to use all of the above in their beaded jewelry designs! You are only limited by your own imagination and there is no wrong combination of beads so choose the beads that speak to you and incorporate them into your design.

To make beaded jewelry using memory wire, you will need:

1. A tool that cuts the memory wire (can be found in any bead supply store - dont use regular wire cutters as you will soon ruin them!)

2. The memory wire (sold in packages where you can get 2 or 3 pieces of jewelry out of each package)

3. Needle nose pliers

4. The beads!

Step 1 - Cut the memory wire to size. For a bracelet or ring, decide how many times you want it to wrap around your wrist or finger - wrap the wire right around your own wrist and cut to size. A necklace can only go around your neck once (well, you could probably make it to wrap around a couple times but I think it would be hard to get on and off). You want to size it so that the ends overlap a bit.

Step 2 - Now you need to close up one end so that the beads dont slide off. Take the tip of your needle nose pliers and place them right at the very end of the wire. Now take the wire in your other hand and bend it around the pliers. The wire is pretty hard, so this might be difficult and yoy may have a hard time with this at first. Try practicing on some smaller pieces first until you can make a perfect little loop. Make sure the loop is closed off so no beads can escape. Dont worry - if you screw up you can just cut off the end and try again! You want the loop to be as small as possible so it doesnt detract from our design

Some people also glue on little silver end cap beads. While this looks a bit better, you run the risk of the glue not holding and all your beads sliding off. This happened to me once and is why I use the loop method. To make the loops look a bit snazzier, I just dangle a bead from them!

Step 3 - String the beads! If you are making a necklace that has a certain design or focal piece in the middle, you will have to be careful to space the beads exactly so that they are symmetrical and the focal piece is in the exact middle.

Step 4 - Close the other end. Using the method in step 2, close up the other end and you are done!

Both red and white meat can be cooked on an infrared grill. In fact, fish and other types of meat will also turn out well on a grill that is powered by infrared technology. Infrared grills are some of the best and high quality grills that are available on the market today.

Infrared is a technology that has been used for commercial cooking for years. In fact, it has been used for decades and infrared grills have been utilized in restaurants and other eateries since the 1960s. These grills create juicy and tasting meals from any type of meat or fish. Since infrared is a technology that has been around for a while, it is no stranger to the world of cooking and fine cuisines. Many chefs actually prefer using an infrared appliance because of its fine cooking abilities. Infrared grills and barbeques offer cooking conveniences that other appliances that are in the same class cannot offer.

Such delectable pieces of meat can be cooked by just about anyone with the use of the right grill. Infrared barbecues offer shorter cooking times at higher temperatures. Most infrared grills cook in temperatures that range from 450-900 degrees Fahrenheit. These temperatures are the most consistent of any grill that is available on the market today and they help to create delicious meals and juicy cuts of meat. And the best part is that a good infrared grill won't flare, unlike standard gas or charcoal grills.

Infrared grills and barbecues have just recently started to make their way into the consumer based retail market. These grills are made to suit many different types of lifestyles. Models include indoor grills, outdoor barbecues and portable grills.

All of these types of infrared grills can look just like any other grill on the market; however, they are better in many ways. Infrared barbecues and grills offer a high quality construction that is usually stainless steel. These grills also have a large grilling space that offers an even temperature throughout. Besides a large grilling space these grills also have storage space, burners and other additions or accessories.

One of the downfalls of a great infrared grill is price. They can be very expensive. That is why these grills have only been used commercial eateries for that last few years. Despite their expensive price, discount grills can be found on the market today. These grills are often used or simply models that are a year or two old.

Finding the best infrared grill can be a difficult task. It is important to complete the right amount of research and understand the different models and sizes of grills that are available on the market today. After all a great infrared grill, whether it is for indoor or outdoor use is an investment and should be an educated decision. The highest quality infrared grills are an appliance that can be used for a long time.

Moulin Rouge Diva Adult Halloween Costume Size 4-6 Small (D48236S) (DF18)

Moulin Rouge Diva Adult Halloween Costume Size 4-6 Small includes: Corset, skirt w/ attached garters, and stockings.
Customer Review: Slightly Disappointed
Well for one thing, I didn't get the skirt that's in the picture, I got very short shorts with awkwardly placed garters that were so long you'd have to have the thighs of an amazon to look normal. The top was also very awkward and it's very uncomfortable.

Distance learning refers to self-paced learning at a convenient time and at a convenient place. Unlike the traditional method of learning, distance learning does not require a student to attend college or any educational institute. It targets students who have the potential and will to study, but lack the resources to do so. Through distance learning, colleges are able to reach out to a large number of students. A doctorate degree is the highest degree that is awarded after verifying a student?s mastery over a subject. It demonstrates a student's ability to perform and present erudite research. This creative research is known as the doctoral thesis or dissertation. Online PhD degree programs are usually more professional than academic in nature.

A number of universities offer custom designed PhD programs. Admission to a doctoral program is usually based on a student's educational record with a bachelor and master's degree. It usually demands a considerable amount of experience in the specific field. Some institutions do not insist on a master's degree, if a student demonstrates relevant proficiency. Universities offer PhD programs in a number of disciplines such as applied management, business management, human resources, psychology and medicine. Most universities grant tuition waivers and stipends for up to four years. There is usually no entrance exam. Students have access to online libraries that facilitates research in their areas of specialization.

Students that decide to enroll in distance learning PhD programs have several resources at their disposal. Some web sites serve as databases for available online courses across the globe.

Modern lifestyles, the cost of living and working families dictate that individuals seeking post-professional education need educational options. People choose distance-learning programs for different reasons. Some of the factors that influence the decision regarding postgraduate programs include the perceived quality of the program, pre-requisites and delivery format.
