If you are, make sure you have sodas or punch for the people who do not drink alcoholic beverages. Make sure water is available, too. If you buy the foods from a store, make sure they are presented as if you made them yourself. (price tags removed, plastic coverings removed, warmed if needed, etc.)

Summary: Decide if you are going to serve alcohol if your party. Serve Finger foods and desserts, these are great for Christmas parties.


Dislocated shoulders usually happen from sports injuries or falling on an outstretched arm. Signs and symptoms of a dislocated shoulder include: intense shoulder pain, an inability to move your shoulder, immediate swelling and/or bruising, and a visible shoulder deformity (it hangs lower than the other shoulder, for example). If you suspect a shoulder dislocation following some type of physical trauma, see a health professional (physician, chiropractor, athletic therapist) immediately for treatment.  Your doctor may take x-rays of your shoulder to confirm the dislocation and see if any bones are broken. Your doctor will either recommend or prescribe medication to deal with the intense pain of a shoulder dislocation. Remember that a dislocated shoulder is very different than a separated shoulder. The latter is a ligament injury to the joint that holds the collarbone (clavicle) to the front part of the shoulder girdle — the "ball and socket" shoulder joint is not displaced, as with a shoulder dislocation. Before you think about strapping or tapping your shoulder, the "ball" of your arm bone (humerus) needs to be relocated into the "socket" of your shoulder girdle. This procedure is usually called closed joint reduction and involves some gentle traction (pulling) and rotation of your arm in order to guide the bones back into alignment within the shoulder joint. Depending on the severity of pain, you may need a local anesthetic injection or strong pain killing pills.  Never let someone untrained (such as a friend, family member or bystander) try to relocate your shoulder — they may cause more harm than good. When your shoulder is relocated, the pain level should drop quickly and significantly. Immediately icing a relocated shoulder for about 20 minutes will help reduce inflammation and pain, but always wrap the ice in plastic or a thin cloth before applying it to skin. Strapping a shoulder that's still dislocated is always a bad idea and never recommended. Once the shoulder is relocated and the pain is reduced and under control, then it's time to prepare the shoulder area to be strapped. In order for straps and tape to adhere to the shoulder area, the skin covering the joint needs to be cleaned and shaved to remove any hair. As such, gently clean the skin around the shoulder with soap and water, then apply some shave cream and carefully remove any hair (if applicable) with a safety razor.  After you finish shaving the skin, dry the area thoroughly and wait at least a few hours for any skin irritation to go away. Then consider applying some adhesive spray just prior to applying any tape of straps — it will help the straps and/or tape stick to the skin better. Hair not only prevents tape from sticking, but it also causes pain when the tape and/or bandaging is removed at a later time. Depending on how much hair is present, you may need to shave around the shoulder, shoulder blade, nipples and the lower neck. Gather (or purchase from your local pharmacy or medical supply store) all the materials you need to properly and securely strap a dislocated shoulder. In addition to some spray adhesive, you'll also need some orthopedic underlay or foam (layers of gauze work also in a pinch). These will help to protect the sensitive nipple from the tape and straps. You will also need some rigid strapping tape (ideally 38 mm in width) and an elastic bandage (ideally 75 mm in width). Keep in mind that you'll very likely need assistance to strap / tape your shoulder, even if you have training and experience with the procedure.  If you are within the offices of an orthopedic doctor, physiotherapist, athletic trainer or sports therapist already, they will likely have all the materials needed to strap your shoulder. Family doctors, physician assistants, chiropractors and nurses may not have all the supplies needed, so consider bringing them with you. Going to an emergency department of a hospital is a good idea to get medication and your shoulder relocated, but they won't likely have the time or motivation to strap / tape it for you afterwards. They'll probably just give you an arm sling to wear instead. Strapping / taping a relocated shoulder can be beneficial or may even help to prevent a dislocated shoulder, but it's not considered medically necessary, so don't expect it to be part of your standard medical care.

Summary: See a doctor if you suspect a dislocated shoulder. Get your shoulder joint relocated or reset. Prepare the shoulder by cleaning and shaving it. Gather your necessary materials.


Move around the map/dig site and look for flaming carts scattered throughout the place. You can obtain the Staff of Ice by playing through the storyline of the game. After shooting at least three flaming carts, you’ll get the Zombie Blood power up (represented by a “blood bag”). Once you claim this power up, your character will go into Zombie Blood mode.

Summary: Look for flaming carts. Shoot three flaming carts with your Staff of Ice. Get the Zombie Blood power up.


Your body has the ability to adapt quickly, so if you don’t alter your exercise routine occasionally, you will hit a plateau. Once a week, change up your routine. You can increase or decrease the number of reps or sets, or simply change the order in which you normally do your routines. When you run, bike, swim and do other cardio exercises, you’re using up energy that could be instead funneled toward muscle growth. Limit your cardio to 20 to 30 minutes daily when you’re trying to gain weight. You can also choose lower-intensity exercises like walking, hiking or short bike rides in flat areas. There’s another method for gaining weight fast: eating whatever you want and moving as little as possible. However, gaining weight this way isn’t likely to give you the appearance you want, and it will make your body weaker instead of stronger. Putting in the hard work to gain weight by building muscle will result in improved health and a built appearance. In your eagerness to gain weight as soon as possible, you might be putting a lot of stress on your body. You shouldn’t feel exhausted and sore all the time. In fact, your improved diet and workout routine should help you feel more virile than ever before. If your body seems to be telling you that something’s wrong, listen to it.  Consider hiring a personal trainer. Within a few sessions, you'll have a great idea of scheduling, form, intensity, and duration of workouts and excellent insight into tweaking your diet. Ask your physician before taking any supplements, and see a doctor right away if you experience an injury during a workout.
Summary: Don’t get stuck in a rut. Limit cardio sessions. Move around instead of being sedentary. Don’t ignore signs you’re gaining too fast or training too hard.
