There's an excellent book, just published in HarperCollins paperback, called The Atheist's Guide to Christmas.
With all profits going to the Terrence Higgins Trust, it's a collection of mostly humorous essays by writers ranging from Richard Dawkins to Derren Brown, Simon Le Bon to Simon Price, all broadly making the same point: namely that you don't have to be a Christian to enjoy Christmas.
None of Saint Etienne's three permanent members – Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell – strike me as likely members of the God Squad (and one of them comes from a Jewish family), but they too understand the frisson of excitement that even the godless get at this time of year.
The wonderfully named A Glimpse of Stocking is a collection of Saint Etienne festive originals old and new, with a handful of carefully chosen cover versions. The best-known track is their hi-NRG Tim Burgess duet "I Was Born on Christmas Day" (which Bob Stanley actually was), a hit back in the 1990s, but the newer "Through the Winter" is a real heart-melting beauty, "No Cure For the Common Christmas" is a stunning Yuletide melodrama, and the saucy-but-sweet "Unwrap Me" raises a smile by quoting the Specials: "My name's Sarah, and I'm going to enjoy myself first..."
The self-explanatory "21st Century Christmas" brings us into the age of sending your wish-list to Santa via SMS, but there's a more nostalgic, mulled-wine flavour in the glam boogie of "Come on Christmas", which boasts the brilliantly impatient plea "Come on Jesus, won't you get born for me?"
There are also hints of Christmasses past in the way the fairy-dust disco of opener "Gonna Have a Party" throws in a snatch of Greg Lake's "I Believe in Father Christmas", and the unmistakeably Wham!-like feel of "Welcome Home".
The cover versions comprise Billy Fury's "My Christmas Prayer" (the singer's last self-penned song, which failed to chart in 1959), Randy Newman's "Snow", Margo Guryan's obscure but charming "I Don't Intend to Spend Christmas Without You", Chris Rea's "Driving Home for Christmas" flipped around to the perspective of the waiting wife, and the Doors' "Wintertime Love", on which our pop heroes have miraculously managed to locate the only Jim Morrison lyric in existence (Come with me/ Dance, my dear/ Winter's so cold this year etc) that doesn't make you want to punch him.
At times, as on the impressionistic instrumental "Snowbound on the South Bank" and the choral interlude "Fireside Favourite", the trio can evoke the spirit of the season without even needing words, or anything as crass as jingle bells. The rhetorical question "Do you believe in magic?" – SE's motto since the start – still applies, at Christmas more than ever.

Yuen to direct new movie
Is Yuen Wo-ping (right) planning a return to the director's chair? According to a Beijing newspaper, the answer is yes. The Matrix trilogy and Kill Bill action choreographer reportedly has his sights on a movie called Chang Cheng (tentative English title, The Great Wall) about nomadic Huns invading an independent Chinese tribe around the time of the Qin dynasty.
For the lead, Yuen is said to be interested in reuniting with his Fearless star Jet Li, although Li has said he will never appear in another wushu movie. According to the Star Daily, Yuen replied, 'it does not matter because The Great Wall would be an action movie, not a wushu movie'.
However, it's not the only project Yuen is attached to as a director. A quick scan of an internet movie database connects him to a Snow White tale where seven Shaolin monks find a refugee girl in British colonial China, as well as a Marvel Comics adaptation called, The Hands of Shang-Chi, about a young kung fu master who learns his father is the world's worst criminal.

Kunsthalle Mannheim Establishes a Flexible Platform for Exhibiting Contemporary Art
Molded scupture entiteld '80 Fanatics' by Spanish artist Enrique Marty, which all have the face as him, are presented during the exhibition 'Premiere_1 Enrique Marty' at the Kunsthalle in Mannheim, Germany. The exhibition runs from 27 November 2010 until 20 February 2011. 'Premiere' is part of a new format of the Kunsthalle Mannheim to display international contemporary art. EPA/RONALD WITTEK.
Premiere is the name that
Kunsthalle Mannheim
has given its new exhibition format dedicated to current international trends in contemporary art. The start is made by Enrique Marty, one of the shooting stars of the Spanish art scene. On Friday, November 26, it was curtains up! for Premiere_1: ENRIQUE MARTY, an exhibition debut in two senses: It is also the Spaniards first solo show at a museum in Germany.
Dozens of clones all bearing the face of the artist assemble to form a space-filling army of fanatics, rowed up in an apathetic and irritated, ecstatic and panicky, hurt and ailing manner, like in a crusade. They all appear to be under the control of an idea, a conviction or a foreign power. With eighty individual sculptures, the installation Fanatics is at the centre of the exhibition, surrounded by a wall painting created especially for the Kunsthalle.
Eerie beings and mysterious creatures also populate the studio of Enrique Marty (*1969), who has already made a name for himself internationally with his disturbing, multimedia mise-enscènes. His art, for which he freely composes and flexibly stages
sculpture, painting and video, manoeuvres along the limits of what is aesthetically tolerable. Vacillating between attraction and repulsion, loathing and empathy, his work reconnoitres the abysses of the human soul.
Martys art is based on his own snapshots or pictures drawn from the Internet. He takes impressions of real persons and reduces them in size for his sculptures. The ecstatic gestures of his figures are reminiscent of the Spanish iconographic tradition with its grotesque medieval altarpieces and enraptured Baroque sculptures.
Kunsthalle Mannheim presents the entire range of the young Spaniards cross-genre forms of expression, which are always juxtaposed in an equal manner. Marty will leave his mark at several locations in the museum: with five recent small- and largeformat works publicly on view for the first time in this context.
Enrique Marty was born in 1969 in Salamanca, where he lives and works today. His first solo exhibition, La Familia, at Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid (2000) already attracted great attention. It was followed by the large-scale, site-specific project Flaschengeist at MUSAC in Léon (2005). He became well-known abroad with his solo show at the Gemeentemuseum in The Hague (2008) and his contributions to the Biennale in Venice in 2001 and 2005, PS 1 (New York) 2004 or ZKM (Karlsruhe) 2008. Marty is also engaged in theatre projects and works as a set designer.

Vein Health: Taking Care of the Veins in Your Legs
Summer is at its end, and the cold weather is quickly approaching. It's important to consider the role that circulation plays in staying healthy when temperatures drop. Pregnancy and then being on your feet all day with your baby can contribute to painful varicose veins forming, due to a lack of circulation in the legs. The cold weather causes even more circulation issues because the body reduces blood flow to the extremities as a way to keep the blood in the main arteries of the body. This may cause cold hands and feet, making the fall season even more difficult for you and your newborn.
Tips to Improve Your Vein Health and Circulatory System
Some tips for optimizing the circulatory system include:
- Get Regular Exercise—Any type of exercise that strengthens the "second heart"—the muscles of the calf and foot—is beneficial. Exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week.
- Wear Graduated Compression Stockings—Compression stockings act like an added layer of muscle, aiding the performance of the "second heart" and venous circulation.
- Monitor Hormone Intake—Birth control pills and hormone replacement therapy constrict blood vessels and can weaken vein valves and vein walls.
- Avoid Prolonged Periods of Sitting and Standing—Rotate your ankles and feet whenever possible, walk for at least 10 minutes every hour, and point and flex your toes to promote leg vein circulation.
- Elevate Your Feet—Raise your feet 6 to 12 inches above your heart whenever possible to assist circulation.
- Eat a High Fiber and Low Salt Diet—Salt retains water and constipation puts pressure on the venous system.
As the cooler temperatures creep in on us, consider trying some of these tips to make sure your circulatory system is working properly and you have optimum vein health at any stage in life.
Dr. Luis Navarro is the Director of The Vein Treatment Center which offers easy and effective ways to optimize blood circulation with tips that cater to new moms.What are you doing to take care of the veins in your legs?

Of course I have been drinking water anyway, even if it does make me gag. Drinking the right amount of water each day is so important . It keeps the body hydrated, can help manage weight, and even does wonders for the hair, skin and nails. So obviously, the benefits of drinking water far outweigh the ick factor I associate with tap water, so I have just been dealing with it. Begrudgingly so.
That's why I was so excited to get the opportunity to try the ZeroWater Pitcher. This is a unique water filtration system that's housed in a convenient, space-saving 10 cup pitcher. It comes with a great filter that removes all impurities from your water, making it clean, crisp, and refreshing. Without any funky flavors or aftertaste. Using the ZeroWater Pitcher water tastes exactly like water should!
Here's how it works, as seen on the ZeroWater website:
Enjoy pure-tasting water with the latest filter pitcher technology. The ZeroWater filtration system combines FIVE sophisticated technologies that work together to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water, delivering you great tasting water. This 10-cup system comes with, our patented Ion Exchange filter, a laboratory-grade water testing meter and a guarantee to remove virtually all dissolved solids from your tap water.
ZeroWater's first layer of filtration, activated carbon and oxidation reduction alloy removes the chlorine taste you are accustom to with tap water. The Ion Exchange stage removes virtually all dissolved solids that may be left over from public water systems or even leached into your water from piping such as Aluminum, Lead, Zinc, Nitrate and more. Three additional stages are included to remove other impurities and to ensure your water receives the appropriate amount of treatment time to deliver a "000" reading on your laboratory-grade Total Dissolved Solids meter included. ZeroWater: Advanced water filtration.
This system even has a handy tool to check your local water's quality rating. Using this TDA meter, you can see how your water measures up to the FDA's quality standards as well as compare with other parts of the country. It's actually really cool! The FDA recommended reading is 000 (what you get with the ZeroWater Pitcher!) and the EPA Maximum is a whopping 500. That would be some filthy, nasty water! Eww! Using the TDA meter, I learned that while I hated the taste of our water, it's actually very, very good by FDA standards. Our water measured a mere 071. I guess maybe my taste buds are just super-duper sensitive?
Another very cool thing about the ZeroWater Pitcher is that it can be used 2 ways. You can pour like an ordinary pitcher, or you can slide it easily into your refrigerator and use it to dispense water straight from the shelf! How convenient is that?! The ZeroWater Pitcher doesn't take up a whole lot of space, and it fit into my fridge with no problems whatsoever.
Take a look at the different dispensing options!
You can check out ZeroWater on their website.
You can save a whopping 30% off of your purchase HERE by entering the code MC30 upon checkout!
You can also connect with ZeroWater on Facebook to stay on top of their latest products and promotions!
I am thrilled to announce that TWO lucky readers will receive a 10 cup ZeroWater Pitcher of their own! How cool is that?!

text: Its much-hyped Super Bowl commercials feature buxom young women in revealing clothing (and in one instance, [1] encountering a wardrobe malfunction that got the spot barred from the airwaves). Now GoDaddy.com, the domain name registry, says it is attaching its name [2] to one of the 429 -- oops, we mean 35 [3] -- bowl games certified by the National Collegiate Athletic Association this year for Football Bowl Subdivision (formerly Division I-A) teams. The GoDaddy.com Bowl will be the new name for the GMAC Bowl, which has been played in Mobile, Ala., since 1999. This is just one of the games with new names this year; others include the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl (previously the Emerald Bowl) and the uDrove Humanitarian Bowl (formerly the Roady's Humanitarian Bowl, and at least two other sponsors before that). And one other new entrant in the bowl naming game this year is Bridgepoint Education Corp., parent of fast-growing Ashford University and the University of the Rockies. Bridgepoint, a San Diego-based company, announced in April [4] that it would sponsor the Holiday Bowl through 2012. Terms were undisclosed.
