Fans of Luhrmann's Romeo & Juliet know the man can collect a sharp soundtrack. Beyoncé, André 3000, Florence and the Machine. Oh and Lana Del Rey, but whatever.

Find The Thing You're Most Passionate About, Then Do It On Nights And Weekends For The Rest Of Your Life.
Here's a brilliant piece from Onion scribe David Ferguson on the struggles of getting out of the daily grind and into a career you can love.
"I can't stress this enough: Do what you love…in between work commitments, and family commitments, and commitments that tend to pop up and take immediate precedence over doing the thing you love.
Because the bottom line is that life is short, and you owe it to yourself to spend the majority of it giving yourself wholly and completely to something you absolutely hate, and 20 minutes here and there doing what you feel you were put on this earth to do."
It'd be hilarious, if it weren't so. damn. true.
This is wild. Indonesian revhead and designer Eric Caprin has rolled out a new concept that transforms a Japanese Sanki bike into a would-be BRE Datsun racer.
Inspired by the Brock Racing Enterprises track cars of the 70s, Caprin's frame wears the same blue, white and red colourway worn by the BRE Datsun 510 coupes.
There's BRE Datsun graphics on the down tube, a classic Datsun graphic on the top tube and even a Datsun head badge.
Perhaps even more insane is the pair of custom-made wheels emblazoned with the logo of the Work Wheels brand.

CASIS x Shepard Fairey. There's a pairing I never thought I'd see.
Prolific designer and street artist Shepard Fairey – famous for his 'OBEY' work and Barack Obama's 'Hope' posters – has unveiled his official design for the patch of a new project on the International Space Station.
The project, managed by Centre for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS), is called ARK1, or Advancing Research Knowledge 1.
The patch will be worn by space workers (astronauts, cosmonauts, what-have-you) involved with the project, which will run from September this year, through to March 2014.
"It's a really special thing. I'm just flattered and honored that I could create something that becomes just a small symbol of how things can move forward. The excitement of the unknown. To be part of that, is really a cool thing," Fairey said of the project.
"I just peed a little, seeing the work of a favourite artist paired with the sheer bonkers awesomeness of space science," Doshio said.

EU will boost Erasmus study programme
The budget for the EU Erasmus inter-university program is set to be increased by 70% to €19bn between 2014 and 2020 under proposals revealed today. Under the revised Erasmus for All programme proposed by the European Commission today up to 5 million people, almost twice as many as now, could get the chance to study or train abroad with a grant. The proposed programme would bring together all the current EU and international schemes for education, training, youth and sport, replacing seven existing programs with one. "Investing in education and training is the best investment we can make for Europe's future," said Androulla Vassiliou, Commissioner for Education, Culture, Multilingualism and Youth. "Studying abroad boosts people's skills, personal development and adaptability, and makes them more employable. Read more »

Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.

Sanchez appeared in court in Tangipahoa Parish on Thursday. She did not waive extradition at the advice of her two Tangiphoa Parish public defenders. Her lawyers said they believe the evidence Hancock County had to extradite her was insufficient.
"Basically, what needs to happens is somebody in Mississippi needs to issue a warrant for an allegation of some sort of crime or material witness warrant," Assistant Public Defender Allen Harvey said.
Deputy Chief Don Bass with the Hancock County Sheriff's Office said they are checking nearby businesses along the Mississippi coast in an attempt to get a break in the case.

Halloween is Almost here and you Need a Costume!
Wednesday, October 20th, 2010Costume Feathers and Boas for Halloween
Sunday, October 10th, 2010I always harp on wearing appropriate accessories with your Halloween costumes. Not to mention the same stuff over and over again, but customers keep buying things that just don't match! Shame on them. Haha, or shame on me for not making it more clear. Whoever is to blame for these confused costumes, they should be taken to task. Certain costumes need to have specific accessories. The flapper is one of the most common of these garments. Since it is a period costume I do recommend only picking out pieces that, at least, were in existence during the time that the costume actually would have been worn. Feather boas are a classic item that can be worn with the flapper and many other costumes. Popular for evening wear during the twenties the feather boa is an inexpensive solution to kicking your Flapper costume up a notch.
Ostrich feathers are another item that will look good when placed with a flapper. I recommend them for custom hair pieces or modified veils. Now were getting into some serious costume design that may bore some of you, but-darn it-I want you to have a better costume than just the piece of clothing that comes out of the costume box. You deserve better. It's not that hard…just pick out the costume set you want and research period accessories. If you need help, email me and I will be glad to pick out some items for you. That takes the fun out of design your own Halloween Costume, though!
Elvis "The King" Presley Costumes
Monday, October 4th, 2010The King of Rock and Roll hasn't been with us since the 1970s, but his spirit is alive and well in the world of costumes. Elvis is a character that will never go out of style. His moves and iconic looks have inspired millions of imitators worldwide; none as good as The King. Elvis changed over his years in the spotlight. From a young and fresh faced boy of the fifties, to a bloated sweaty tabloid star in the seventies. This just makes his character that much more complex. What a troubled; talented man! The world may never know such a pop rock genius. Not to mention movie star. Elvis in the memory of many may be different that the picture many young people have in their minds of him, but either way-any Elvis style-is a costume that is always a hit!
Fat Elvis was a sweaty mess. I'm too young to have seen Elvis in person, but my grandparents tell me of time that they went to see him perform in Las Vegas sometime in the seventies. My grandpa said he looked, "hopped up on dope, all greasy and he forgot some words…" This is just part of the Elvis mystique and a great excuse for getting a touch sloppy on Halloween night.
Remember not all Elvis Halloween costumes have to showcase the King's later years. There are awesome costumes that come from his days as a Jailbird. Or put on some blue suede shows and move those hips!

Avatar Costumes
Friday, September 24th, 2010Avatar is probably the most popular movie of the year. Every year there are some costumes that stand out in the minds of costume aficionados. Usually these costumes are of characters from a movie or television show that had a particular following that year. Last year was a sort of exception to this rule, as Michael Jackson became the must have costume. The glove and various other accessories flew off the shelves. The King of Pop is still a hot item this year, but Avatar is stacking up to be the top costume for the year. The Neytiri costume is an excellent choice for girls and women and the Jake Sulley costume is perfect for boys and men. The characters in the film are easy to fall in love with and to get into these costumes for the night will bring you that much closer to being these newly iconic creatures.
The world in which Avatar takes place is interconnected and everyone lives in complete balance and harmony. Contribute to this beautiful Utopian ideal by wearing the skin of the peace loving aliens. Man may have been super mean to them, but you can propagate their views in costume! Although I usually have a distaste for films with such an obvious political sub text, this one impressed me and if you don't appreciate for the story and writing you must at least give credit to the visual effects in the film. Talk about the perfect excuse for buying one of those new 3d tvs!
Haunted House Props and Halloween Decorations
Thursday, September 23rd, 2010Halloween decorations are as important as costume if you're planning on having guests this Halloween! You want you house to look creepy and haunted, you'll need to do more than let the dust gather for the rest of the month. Haunted house props and Halloween decorations are a must have for anyone attempting to look festive this season. From jugs of fake blood to giant prop spiders and bugs there are plenty of items to scare the local kiddies. Or impress the neighbors with your outward showing of seasonal consumerism. Who wouldn't be jealous of the sweetest haunted house in the neighborhood? I know that every year there are more than a few houses in my area that compete for best decorations. Sadly, I've never won. I have supplied a good deal of winning displays though! With professional quality haunted house supplies, your house will look good enough to actually deter people from going to it…Well, maybe not that scary, but pretty creepy.
The big thing to add lately are the afore mentioned hunted house props. They're just downright weird. The giant bugs, body organs and fake corpses get grosser and more realistic every year. This year is no exception. My mom won't even look through the costume catalogs anymore. She says it makes her sick! That's a good sign that the decorations available are truly top notch. Who doesn't want to have a house dressed up to make people vomit? At least on Halloween, I think this is a good thing!
Short Wigs and Long Wigs for Halloween
Wednesday, September 22nd, 2010Halloween wigs are a tradition that won't have you scratching your head…Well, any wig itches if you leave it on long enough, just try not to have too much fun this Halloween night and sleep in the wig and you should do alright. Wigs are a fantastic resource when it comes to putting together a costume. They save time and money by allowing you not to go get it done professionally. Wigs are also good for use in groups where consistency in style is important. If you nedd everyone's hair to look identical you'll spend a fortune on stylists…why not just put everyone into a wig? Whatever your need, I'm happy to say that there are wigs available to you from choppy short pink wigs to long gray witch wigs you'll find the perfect piece of synthetic hair to mount your skull.
Costume wigs are fun items that you'll get some use out of. Especially if you have little kids. They love to play dress up. Let your little darling look fabulous in a feather boa and matching wig. Very fun for tea parties and any time your little one wants to live in that special childhood fantasy land. Don't throw away old costume items when you can get use from them for years to come. Many people only wear their wigs once for Halloween and then they are thrown away. So sad considering the great number of uses that can come of old costume items. Maybe you'll wake up bald one morning…that bright purple wig in the closet will probably be better than no hair at all! Emergency hair to the rescue!

Google Plus For Students
You may have heard some of the buzz lately around Google Plus. Students can utilize this amazing new social media tool to gain an edge during their time in school and beyond.
Professional speaker and best-selling author Chris Brogan explained why Google+ is so important on his post on Entrepreneur.com, "If you get in, get familiar, start growing connections and learn how to curate and share, you'll be ahead of the game."
As a student of the 21st century, other generations are looking to you to be well informed about major trends in the social media landscape. Learning this tool now will give you a jumpstart on the competition in the future. Below are some useful tools to help you navigate the wonderful world of Google+ and the many benefits that come from being connected.
Learn about Google+
1. +1
Similar to a Facebook Like, if you enjoy a website or article you can give it a +1. Google then tracks all of these back to your profile to share with your connections. Found a good site for a class research project? Give it a +1 and share it with your classmates or to reference at a future date.
2. Circles
Within Google+, each person you connect with is added to a "Circle." This feature allows you to separate your connections into different groups and makes it easy to add your classmates into a different circle than your family or close friends for example. Also, you can share information to the public or just a particular Circle of people. This allows you to keep your personal, school, work life, and all other social lives separated yet interconnected.
3. Find People
Search for people within your community such as business leaders and fellow peers within your industry to follow their public posts. Stay informed by getting updates, photos, and more directly in your stream. This is also a great way to network, meet people, and find new opportunities.
4. Hangouts
This nifty feature allows you to have video hangouts online with up to nine of your friends. As a student, you could use it to coordinate a group study session for the upcoming exam.
5. Invite Friend
Google+ was only launched in June of 2011, so chances are that not all of your friends have a profile yet. Simply send them an invite to connect and then show them how smart you are by teaching them how to use it.
6. Games
Google+ has a game room where you can relax and compete for the top scores against your classmates. Need a break from your homework? Might as well play some Angry Birds.
7. Gmail
The free email service is connected with your Google+ profile. This allows you to access your email easily without having to logout and login again and again.
8. Google Calendar
Track your assignment due dates, class schedule or study time, and share your calendar with your classmates, friends, and family. Much of student success comes simply from showing up and turning in assignments on time.
9. Google Search
Two-thirds of online searches are on Google. The integrated search bar allows you to multitask seamlessly while gathering research for that school paper.
10. Google+ Chat
With this feature you can text, voice or video chat with your online connections. It's a great way to stay connected with classmates and further develop relationships.
11. Google+ Location
Whether you are taking courses locally or online, share your location with your circle of classmates. This is great for connecting with people locally or nationwide.
12. Google+ Pages
Connect with your favorite businesses or institutions. Be the first to receive inside information and access to special money-saving deals for the budget conscious student.
13. Google+ Privacy
You can choose what and who can view on your public profile. Starting your career search soon? Maybe look at tightening up the robust privacy controls offered by Google+.
14. Google Products
Google has lots of different products. Be sure to check out Images, Maps, News, Documents, Earth, Translate, Reader, Music, and Offers among many others. These products and more can be useful to students.
15. Google+ Profile
Creating this profile will allow people searching your name via Google to find your profile. This means it is a great place to impress potential employers. Think of it as a secondary (or third, if you have a LinkedIn Profile) resume for building your personal brand.
16. Mobile Instant Upload
Have you ever seen something that gave you a great idea for a school project? Snap a photo and upload instantly to ensure that idea doesn't get lost.
17. Mobile Messenger
Working on a group project throughout the day? Use this feature to text chat with a Circle of friends to constantly stay connected and informed of the progress.
18. Picasa
The online photo sharing site has been a part of Google's offerings for a long time. Share your photos on your profile and save them to your Picasa. No more uploading to multiple places.
19. Search Plus Your World
Google's results are getting more personal with "SPYW". Now your results will be personalized with information from your Google + contacts. This can include photos, posts, +1's, and more.

Publications and Resources
Public Employee Advocate
Public Employee Advocate covers news and information relevant to government professionals at the local, state and federal levels who are represented by AFT Public Employees. It is published five times a year and is mailed to all public employee members of the AFT as a benefit of membership. Single copies are free on request. Questions, comments and inquiries about Public Employee Advocate should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com Released! Thirteenth Edition of the AFT Public Employees State Employee Compensation Survey
This annual report shows that the recession continues to have a significant impact on state employees, whose wages are not keeping up with the rate of inflation. Average earnings have increased just 0.2 percent from last year. The report also reflects the continuing discrepancies between private and public salaries, with salaries substantially higher in the private sector. In addition, findings continue to show that jobs covered by a collective bargaining agreement have wages that are 35 percent higher than those not covered. This is the 13th year that AFT Public Employees has released its report comparing the salaries of state employees across the country.
AFT Public Employees 2011 Compensation Survey
Cutbacks and budget deficits are on everyone's mind this year, and our new compensation survey indicates that wages have increased just 1.8 percent since last year. This is somewhat higher than the 0.4 percent increase in 2010, but the last two years have seen the two smallest increases in the years we have collected salary data for these jobs. It is also worth noting that the global average salary for state employees in our survey has increased only 3.2 percent (less than .5 percent per year) since 2002. This 12th edition of the survey once again shows that public sector knowledge workers in state government—those with high levels of education and professional responsibility—are often at a salary disadvantage when compared with their counterparts in the private sector. The survey, which is released every Labor Day, reflects pay rates in effect March 1 of the given year for 45 professional, scientific and related occupations in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Public Employees 2010 Compensation Survey
A standard talking point among some politicians, pundits and anti-government groups masked as think tanks is that government employees make more money than private sector workers. Not so, according to the 2010 AFT Public Employees Compensation Survey of state government jobs, which is the only national survey of its kind. For the first time since the AFT started publishing the survey in 2000, wage growth was virtually flat, up an average of 0.4 percent to $47,245. The survey, released every September, reflects pay rates in effect March 1 of the same year for 45 professional, scientific and related occupations in the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
State Revenue Systems: Options for the Current Fiscal Crisis
The cumulative state budget shortfall for 2010 is estimated to be more than $166 billion. States will not be able to cut their way out of a shortfall of this magnitude. There are no easy choices to solve this crisis. To be a part of crafting a solution that does not place the burden of balancing public budgets squarely on public employees, AFT Public Employees, together with the AFT research department, have created a resource guide for locals, state federations and coalition partners. State Revenue Systems: Options for the Current Fiscal Crisis provides an explanation of current revenue structures state-by-state and suggests alternatives to improve revenue stability and progressivity. The guide is available online here. For a printed copy, please e-mail Karen Schiffhauer at email@example.com.
AFT Public Employees 2009 Compensation Survey
While the average salary of state employees rose a modest 2.6 percent in 2009 to $47,077, the "buying power" of state employees has not increased since 2002. These are among the findings of the 2009 AFT Public Employees Compensation Survey of 45 state employee job titles in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The survey, now in its 10th year of publication, is the only national survey that tracks the salaries of state government employees.
AFT Public Employees 2008 Compensation Survey
Salaries for state government professionals registered a modest 2.4 percent increase from 2007 to 2008, according to the ninth annual AFT Public Employees Compensation Survey. The increase was less than the inflation rate, 4 percent, and significantly less than the previous year's 5.7 percent increase. The survey also shows that most state employees earn far less than their private sector counterparts.
Exposing Shadow Government
The growing trend toward offshoring and "contracting out" of local and state government jobs is threatening the quality of many public services, costing taxpayers millions in cost overruns and waste, and robbing many communities of good jobs. (June 2004)
Another Long Winter: The State Fiscal Crisis in Its Third Year
This report details long-term damage to education, healthcare and public services due to states' continuing budget deficits. The national report includes case studies of three states—Washington, Wisconsin and New York—explaining how federal tax cuts and reduced revenue have devastated essential programs, services and jobs. (Feb. 2004)
Taking Action Against the Quiet Crisis in Recruitment and Retention
Government employers are facing a crisis in recruiting and retaining quality employees. Additionally, some public sector employees have watched their pay and benefits become less competitive and have chosen to leave the public sector for more lucrative positions in the private sector. This report of the Recruitment and Retention Task Force gives information on approaches to the recruitment and retention issue to provide local unions with options to develop appropriate strategies for their unique situations. (Feb. 2002)
Digital Government and Technological Change: The Impact on Public Employees and Quality Public Services
Government workplaces across the country have changed dramatically over the past several years due to advances in technology. This rapid pace of change presents significant challenges that must be addressed if government is to meet its full potential for improving public services. The AFT Public Employees digital government task force explores technological change, and the challenges facing our members in the digital era, in its final report. (Aug. 2002)
State Revenue & Taxation: Issues for Supporting Public Service in the 21st Century
Lower revenues affect both the quality of services provided by the states and the very standard of living of our members. These harder times come when states need to recruit and retain the next generation of public servants, rebuild hospitals, schools and other public infrastructure, and improve healthcare, education, environmental quality and public safety. This report from the Revenue and Taxation Task Force describes the importance of the federal government in providing state funds and assesses each of the major taxes states use to raise revenue. (July 2001)

The new Colorado River Cooperative Agreement between western water interests and Denver Water is laudable and a great step forward, but lost in the hoopla is the simple fact that Denver Water still plans to build an unnecessary $576,000,000 expansion of Gross Reservoir in Boulder County. A simple back-of-the-envelope calculation shows that installing low-flow shower heads for every resident of the Denver metro area would be cheaper, would save more water, and would have the added benefit of being environmentally sound.
The projected shortfall in Denver by 2030 is only 18,000 acre-feet of water, but let's be generous to Denver Water and assume the shortfall is double that value at 36,000 acre-feet or about 12 billion gallons. Using 2.5 versus 6 gallons per minute, low-flow shower heads save about 35 gallons in a ten minute shower. At one shower per person per day with 2.5 million residents in the Denver metro area, that saves about 32 billion gallons per year. Of course, many folks in Denver have already installed low-flow fixtures, but these figures show that only about a third of the residents would need to install low-flow shower heads to make up the projected shortfall. And remember, we were being generous to Denver Water, so the real value is closer to one-sixth of the residents.
The cost? Forget that only a fraction of the households need new shower heads. Instead, let's buy all 2.5 million people very nice $100 shower heads and allow an additional $100 for installation. Total cost: $500,000,000. This rather magnanimous payment is still cheaper than the proposed Gross Reservoir expansion.

Interior Design Ideas for Stunning Holiday Home Decor - Quick and Easy!
Holiday Interior Design Ideas:
Spruce up your home decor with stunning holiday vessels!
Quick and Easy Formula:
1. Start with a vessel - bowl or vase (or any large glass container) - key is to be sure the scale is large enough so that it makes an impact! I have a lot of Simon Pearce hand blown glass, but Pottery Barn and Crate and Barrel have great choices too.
2. Then gather decorative holiday elements - ornaments, fruits, greenery, branches and stems of sparkles and baubles. Key is to use a variety and group same colors together. Note: you will probably be surprised how many things you have in your own holiday boxes, but if you don't - happily support one of your local retailers.
3. Next start assembling. Lay a base of a background element, then layer the other elements until your vessel looks stunning! See your home decor come alive for the holidays!
1. Bowl of Fruit for Entry:
elements needed - a large bowl with a very wide rim, two kinds of greenery (one has gold glitter on the tips of the branches), a dozen gold pears and a half dozen or so stems of golden baubles.
Gold pears tie in to the existing accessories and add an holiday elegance atop the entry chest. How can you accent your entry with home decor for the holidays?
2. Cocktail Table Centerpiece:
elements needed - a large tall bowl, 3 - 4 dozen glass ornaments (use a couple shades of blue and a few silver thrown in for interest), an 8' chain of cobalt blue beads to entwine throughout and some stems of silvery sparkles to accent the top.
You can highlight your centerpiece with a tray filled with a coordinating selection. This centerpiece is set off with a silver tray holding whimsical glass ice cubes and glass candies. Be creative and let your imagination come up with interior design ideas for the holidays!
3. Bar Top Centerpiece:
elements needed - a large tall triangular vase, a couple of white branches with white sparkles, a bunch of metallic gold grasses and some gold branches with clear sparkles. Assemble layering the taller branches in the center and working your way to the outside. Add a large tray, crystal rocks and gold candles to complete the look.
Remember scale when creating your centerpieces. This one is 4' tall! Always go for the largest scale your space can handle - that way you will be confident you are creating impact and drama! Follow these quick and easy interior design ideas and you will create your own stunning home decor for the holidays!

The description failed to mention that all the parts might not be included. This processor new comes with 2 sizes of bowls, 7 cups and 3 cups, but the one I received only came with one size, 7 cups. After receiving the product I went to *** and they had the same item brand new for only $$$ more. So by time I paid for shipping I saved only $$$ and I have a refurbished machine instead of new. I should have looked around locally first before making purchase.
I assumed that a food processor advertised as 7-cup would have a usable capacity of 7 cups. Such a huge disappointment to unpack this item and find the usable capacity was more like 2 cups. This made the processor unusable for my needs. The good news is, other than having to pay $XX.00 for return postage, the entire return process was very simple and efficient. Unlike many other company return policies, credit was issued to my account the same day the item was received in Overstock warehouse. Thanks Overstock!
The body is heavy duty and works perfectly. However, I'm a bit dissapointed in the thin flimsy plastic of the actual container. I just don't think it's going to hold up well.
I am always nervous buying something that's been 'refurbished', but this was such a good price I couldn't pass it up. My previous processor was 15 years old, still working, but taking up too much storage space so I needed to down-size. This is just the right size, works beautifully, stores nicely and came 2 days after I ordered it! Wow! Just can't say enough how great the quality and shipping of O.co products are!
great product looks brand new ..even tho refurbished...fast shipping
I hesitated to buy a refurbished product but I should not have had any concerns. It looked brand new when it came in the box with all booklets and instructions included. It is simple to use and clean up is a snap. I will buy other refurbished items in the future bases on this experience.
I bought this as a gift for my daughter and she is very happy with it.
I like this food processor for the most part. I wish it had a bit larger capacity, but overall it's easy to use and clean. It is heavy, so hauling it up to the counter is an issue, but overall I'm pleased with this product and the price I paid for it.
Beside the handle that feels like the plastics will come apart after about 4 months of use, this processor does its job. I have made sauces, dips, and even nut pastes with it. I honor the small, intimate width of the bowl since the blades extend and catch (most) anything that gets stuck on the walls of the bowl during processing.
I was nervous to buy a refurb. I have this exact model for 12 years and it broke. I bought the refurb and I am very happy with it. The price is definately right.

Albany Herald
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher is sure about one thing heading into today's game against Maryland: There should be plenty of points scored.
The Terrapins put up 45 points in a loss to unbeaten Clemson last Saturday, while Florida State tallied 41 to end a three-game losing streak with a win at Duke.
Maryland (2-4, 1-2 ACC) comes to Tallahassee as an 18-point underdog, but with a new starter at quarterback who is a dangerous runner and capable passer.
Redshirt sophomore C.J. Brown ran for 162 yards and threw three touchdown passes in the 56-45 loss to No. 8 Clemson. He ran for 124 yards after taking over for Danny O'Brien, last year's ACC Rookie of the Year, the week before. Brown became the first player in the ACC to pass and run for over 150 yards in 10 years with his performance against Clemson.
"When that guy is making plays, he's scary," Fisher said. "He's given them a spark."
The 6-3, 200-pound Brown presents the same kind of threat that Seminole defenders failed to control in ACC losses to Clemson and Wake Forest.
"That's something we need to improve on," Florida State safety Lamarcus Joyner said. "This is another big test."
Joyner noted that the Seminoles (3-3, 1-2 ACC) didn't do well against Clemson's Tajh Boyd or Wake Forest's Tanner Price, both of whom have a knack for staying out of trouble while locating their receivers.
"When you've got mobile quarterbacks who can make magic with their feet and throw the ball down the field, you have to be prepared for that," Joyner said. "It's very tough."
And FSU's defense has been vulnerable in its first three conference games, giving up just under 30 points a game.
Boyd threw for 344 yards and three TD's in Clemson's win, while Price passed for 233 yards and three touchdowns a week later. Neither was intercepted.
While Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops works on resolving the Seminoles' problems, Maryland's defensive woes are far greater. The Terrapins porous defense is allowing 443 yards and almost 34 points a game in ACC play -- including 39 in the second half to Clemson.
And now they catch Florida State with quarterback EJ Manuel healthy and the Seminoles' offensive line seemingly coming together.
"There's no rest for the weary," said Maryland coach Randy Edsall, noting the Terps' last two games against the explosive offenses of Georgia Tech and Clemson.
Florida State, which hasn't beaten a team with a winning record yet this season, hopes to climb above the .500 mark with a victory and keep its record perfect at home against Maryland. The Terps have never won at Doak Campbell Stadium in 10 previous visits.
The Seminoles will be at home for the first time since their 23-13 loss to third-ranked Oklahoma on Sept. 17.
Oddsmakers have established the over-under at 55 points, indicating the bettors are looking for a fairly wide-open affair today.
Fisher chuckled when asked if he was expecting a shootout.
"We just need to play a good football game and score more points than they do whether it's 7-3 or 3-0 or whatever," Fisher said. "We need to play a good defensive game."

Cal's men's basketball team wasn't able to capitalize on its opportunity to win the Pac-12 regular season championship. Now, the Bears get a chance to win another kind of title.
The Bears open play in the Pac-12 Tournament on Thursday night in Las Vegas against either USC or Utah. They narrowly missed out on the regular season crown, and plan to use that as motivation to win the Pac-12's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.
"We let the regular season slip away. We have a new focus now," said Cal guard Allen Crabbe, the Pac-12 Player of the Year. "We have three games to win this Pac-12 Tournament."
Cal (20-10) entered the final week of the regular season needing to beat Stanford and then have UCLA and Oregon each lose one game. The Bruins and Ducks both lost, but the Bears were knocked off by Stanford.
That left Cal in second place to finish the season, giving them the No. 2 seed at the conference tournament, which is being held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
The overwhelming consensus is this will be the most wide-open tournaments in years, with as many as nine teams believed to be legitimate contenders for the championship.
"Stanford came in as the ninth-place team and played great, which was really disappointing in retrospect because it was all there for us," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "We didn't get it done, but you have to give credit where credit is due. This league has been really good. You could look at it as the teams at the top have been more impressive because it has been so hard."
The Bears will have had eight days off between games by the time they take the floor in Las Vegas on Thursday night. Cal has been using the time off to rest tired bodies and re-commit itself to performing on the defensive end, which was the primary reason the Bears strung together seven straight wins before falling to Stanford.
"We lost one championship. Now we want to see if we can get this one," Cal point guard Justin Cobbs said. "It would be a great accomplishment if this team can win the conference championship. We're capable of doing that."
Allen Crabbe may be the Pac-12's leading scorer, but he doesn't believe that's why he was named Pac-12 Player of the Year on Monday.
Crabbe averages 18.6 points per game, but it was his realization that he doesn't need to score that turned him into more of a complete player this season.
"I realized it doesn't really matter if I score," Crabbe said Monday, just a few hours after learning he had been named the conference's top player for the 2012-13 season. "It's a team effort. I trust in my teammates to make plays. I just tried to find ways to get them involved."
Indeed, when the Bears became less dependent on Crabbe to score, they became better. During the final 11 games of the regular season, in which Cal went 9-2, Crabbe scored more than 16 points just three times. Twice, he didn't even reach double-digits, and both times those games ended up as victories.
"I'm happy or Allen," Cal coach Mike Montgomery said. "He came in as a highly touted freshman and worked himself up to being the conference leading scorer. But now he's doing other things. He's been drawing everybody's best shot all year long. He's had to work really hard to get anything done."
Crabbe is the third Cal player to be named Pac-12 Player of the Year in the past four seasons, joining Jerome Randle in 2010 and Jorge Gutierrez last year.
"I realized all the hard work I put into the offseason really does matter," Crabbe said. "I feel like I'm really blessed to be in this situation to be considered the MVP of this conference. I want to thank my team for sticking with me through my hardships. They've always been there to pick me up. I wasn't able to do this alone. And I want to thank the coaching staff for believing in me. I thank all of them for being there and trusting me."
In addition to Crabbe earning Player of the Year honors, teammate Justin Cobbs was named to the All-Pac-12 second team. Cobbs was disappointed to be left off the all-conference team last year, but now that he's on the second team, he has his sights set on more.
"I'm blessed to make the second team," Cobbs said. "At the same time, I want to reach the higher goal and make first team. There's room for improvement. I have to keep working. It's not a negative thing. I'm blessed to make second team. At the same time, now I have work to do."
Bill Walton may have attended UCLA, but at least part of his heart has always been in Berkeley.
The son of a Cal alum, Walton has spent many nights at the Greek Theatre watching his favorite band, The Grateful Dead, perform. His spirit, his philosophies - ooze the Berkeley culture. He even told UCLA basketball coach John Wooden he planned on spending the spring quarter in Berkeley every year (never happened).
That's why Walton was (and is always) in his element when he was on campus Wednesday. Prior to calling the Bears' game against Stanford on ESPN2, Walton addressed about 150students in the Haas Pavilion club room as part of his "Bill Walton Pac-12 Campus Tour," which took him to all 12 campuses during the past 10 weeks. Cal was the final stop on his journey.
"This is Berkeley, where anything is possible," Walton said during his 75-minute appearance. "This is where civilization began."
Walton touched on a variety of topics, telling stories about his time at UCLA and in the NBA, but also sharing inspirational messages with the students. Walton implored the students to make the most of their time in college and prepare themselves for the future.
"I was the highest-paid player in team sports, and my quality of life went down," Walton said of his time with the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. "That's how great UCLA was."
The talk was moderated by Cal radio voice Todd McKim. Walton also took a few questions from students.
Walton reminisced about a charmed childhood, one that ended with major college programs doting over him. It continued on when he arrived at UCLA, where he was named National Player of the Year three times and led the Bruins to two NCAA championships.
"I was 21 before I encountered someone who didn't have my best interest at heart," Walton said.
Walton had fun with the Cal crowd, saying about the upcoming game: "The trees of Stanford have come. The fate of the world as we know it lies in the balance."
After his remarks, a huge line formed for autographs and pictures with Walton.
Walton traveled over 3,500 miles total during his bus tour.
The fourth annual "Jog For Jill" will be held this Sunday, March 10, beginning at the Kroeber Fountain at Noon. Registration begins at 11 a.m.
Jog for Jill is a yearly fundraiser put on by Jill's Legacy and the Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer Foundation. The event honors Jill Costello, a former coxswain on the Cal women's crew, who passed away from lung cancer in 2010.
The 5K is open to runners, walkers, families and participants of all ages. Registration is $25 before the race, $30 on Sunday. The cost for kids ages 5-12 and seniors is $15. All participants who pre-register will receive a T-shirt. Those who register Sunday will receive T-shirts on a first-come, first-served basis.
The jog will take participants through campus and back to Kroeber Plaza, where a celebration of Jill's Legacy will take place. Cal is aiming to raise approximately $75,000 for Lung Cancer research through this event. Approximately $40-45,000 has already been raised through pre-registration.
Costello was diagnosed with lung cancer on June 6, 2009. Even with her illness, she competed in 2010 and led the Bears to the Pac-10 championship. She ended up being named Pac-10 Athlete of the Year and earned her degree in political economy.

Datawind insists $42 tab isn't Chinese
Components of subsidised slabs come from China, but assembly done in India
Agentless Backup is Not a Myth
British tech firm Datawind has been forced to deny reports from India at the weekend that its low-cost Aakash 2 device, marketed as an innovative locally-made product, was actually bought off-the-shelf from China.
The Hindustan Times, citing an unnamed source, claimed that DataWind had no role in the design or manufacturing of the tablet, for which the Indian government has placed an order for 100,000 units, with the intention of empowering students and closing the huge digital divide in the country.
The article alleges that Datawind bought more than 10,000 'A-13' tablets from four manufacturers in Shenzhen and Hong Kong between 26 October and 7 November for $42 a piece – the same price it is flogging them to the Indian government for.
The device was unveiled by Indian president Pranab Mukherjee on 11 November.
Documents seen by HT apparently show that the tablets came from Dasen International Electronics, Shenzhen Shitong Zhaoli Technology, Kalong Technology and Trend Grace Ltd.
However, Datawind CEO Suneet Singh Tuli has tried to nip the mini-crisis in the bud, claiming that the report is "inaccurate and misleading", according to EE Times India.
"For the first 10,000 units for the Indian Institute of Technology, and for expediency sake we had the motherboards and kits manufactured in our Chinese subcontractor's facilities, and then the units have been 'kitted' in China at various manufacturers for expediency, whereas the final assembly and programming has happened in India," he said.
"We also have four partner manufacturers across India that will work on the deliveries to the government but we just couldn't get them started to assemble our new Aakash-2 units in time, but they will start to ship early in December."
Datawind will be hoping the new devices get a better reception than the low-specced Aakash tablets it launched around a year ago.
The Indian government's ambitious plans to roll-out hundreds of thousands of low-cost computing devices never really got off the ground at the time after a disagreement between Datawind and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur stalled shipments. ®
We don't need Chinese slave labor ...
We have plenty of our own
"The article alleges that Datawind bought more than 10,000 'A-13' tablets... for $42 a piece – the same price it is flogging them to the Indian government for."
And I bet they're going to pocket the difference, too, those sleazy bastards!
Yes it seems a strange stance to build a one off Indian only system when there are many proven systems available worldwide that could be negotiated down to a price mark just on the guaranteed numbers alone.I think they might be losing the primary goal which was to facilitate the availability of a low cost system not to make another factory and additional continual investment that would need.

Twenty-two years
ago tonight, NBC aired "Right to Die,"
one of many TV movies from the era that attempted to mimic the success of "The
Burning Bed."
Like "Bed," "Die"
cast a beautiful actress best known for lighter roles (Farrah Fawcett in "Bed,"
Raquel Welch in "Die") in a story about a serious disease or social issue
(domestic violence in "Bed," euthanasia in "Die").
Both movies put
their leading ladies through the wringer – Fawcett appears bloodied in "Bed;"
Welch – as a woman stricken with Lou Gehrig's disease – suffers severe physical
And, of course,
"Bed" and "Die" are both "based on a true story" – a TV movie requisite.
Other films that
followed this formula include "Stone Pillow," which cast Lucille Ball as a
homeless woman; "Nobody's Child" (Marlo Thomas in a mental institution), Ann
Jillian (recreating her real-life battle against breast cancer in "The Ann
Jillian Story") and "Wild Texas Wind" (Dolly Parton as another battered woman).
None of the
movies achieved the same level of success as "The Burning Bed."
Reviews for
"Right to Die" were lukewarm.
"The film
attempts to rationalize a patently immoral act and fails," the Washington
Post's Tom Shales observed.
"For all the
promotional mileage that NBC has gotten out of Raquel Welch leaving her makeup
kit behind to tackle 'serious' drama … the truth of 'Right To Die' is she
merely trades in her mascara and blush for a different kind of mask," wrote the
Chicago Sun-Times' Lloyd Sachs.
difference between "Right to Die" and "The Burning Bed:" the latter stands as
the fourth most-watched TV movie of all time; the former drew just 15 million
households, finishing 25th in the weekly ratings.

Illegal Firearms Case Continues Against Sharpsburg Man
By: Ciara Brown
Updated: December 19, 2012
Terry Porter, 46, is being charged with possession of firearms, among other firearms charges.
The charges come after police searched his home on November 29th and seized a number of firearms after an eight hour man hunt.
A judge granted Porter a continuance in his case. Many of Porter's family and friends were in the court room as a sign of support.
Neighbors say the incident has them concerned.
"They're very upset, a no-knock search warrant for someone we know as being a pretty friendly easy going guy, with a wife and three children, and to come in there and bang the doors down, they weren't even locked from my understanding," says Timothy Frenquist, a neighbor.
Porter was released on a $75,000 bond earlier this month. No trial date has been set.

While all of our callers didn't agree on the exact amount the minimum wage should be raised, the consensus seemed to be that it should be raised. $9 an hour might be too much to swallow for some small business owners, but there has to be some sort of increase to reflect the standard of living in New York City.
After four hours of debate, the State Assembly voted last night to raise the State's minimum wage to $9 an hour, with automatic increases tied to inflation. Governor Cuomo had proposed raising the current $7.25 hourly wage to $8.75.
The bill now goes to the State Senate where it faces opposition from some Republicans. Opponents of raising the minimum wage argue it will add to the financial burden of small business owners. Others worry the costs of a higher payroll will be passed on to consumers. What do you say?
Is raising the State's minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 a good thing for New Yorkers? Would you like to see it raised even higher? Would you be willing to shell out a little more at your local businesses if it meant higher salaries for employees? Is Governor Cuomo handling this issue appropriately?
Send your thoughts using the link above.
I think it is about time that the minimum hourly wage is increased. The current $7.25 wage is probably equivalent to North Korea's wages for their people. No matter what is increased, we, the tax payers, are going to pay for it. What else is new? It is a disgrace that they are only increasing it to $9.00. The Cost of Living is increasing at a bullet speed and the middle class wages are at a stand still. But as Americans, we have no say as usual. Even if the State Assembly increases the minimum wage, it will still not make a difference because of the cost of living today.
God Bless America !!!
RalphBay Ridge
This has been discussed many times before and as long as people are getting their amenities they do not consider that their demanded benefits falls on someone else's shoulders every time. We must start to alert people that the business owners have to suffer the consequences financially in order to pass on an increase in wages. This becomes a chain reaction.
Once again this Shelly Silver being a big sport with someone else's money.I don't think he should still have his job at all.He stands up there with all the bobble heads behind him to tell us about someone else's needs.
All they are doing is robbing Peter to pay Paul and they in Albany as in New York City never ever have to prove just exactly how much money comes in and how much they spend.
God forbid if we ask a question.
MaxxieeMorris Park
With people having to pay 12,000 monthly to live in the basement (from last nights program) $9.00 an hour is the humane thing to do. The price of everything else continues to go up except salaries for the middle class and working poor. I'd be willing to shell out a little more.
JoyceSpringfield Gardens
Because the cost of living in NYC is so ridiculously high, the raise should be at least $10.00. The fare increase alone this week is enough to break people's budgets; I know I am having a hard time since the increase service has been atrocious. I would love to move from NYC but there is no extra money to do that. We are all struggling to keep our heads above water - the cost of living here is out of control and I am working and I am making a lot more than $10.00 an hour- so I cannot even begin to imagine the stress involved trying to make ends meet on less than $10.00 an hour. I would hope that you would qualify for some kind of food stamp program. Where does it end and when will they stop bleeding the working middle and lower middle class of this city in order to fuel the wealthy? Marie Bay Ridge
Where in the Constitution is government authorized to coerce employers to pay employees any more than the employer chooses? This is pure fascism.
JoePort Richmond
All I know is I haven't had a contract (DOE) in YEARS! Sooooooooooooooo...if they raise the min wage, I'd BETTER GET A SALARY INCREASE! JeanetteBronx
The homeless population is growing, so this means that there is an influx of people that are going to the job centers to apply for public assistance. At the current time there is one center that deals with the homeless population. Everyone who is in the shelter goes to that one center. Not only should DHS prepare for the influx of residents but the center that deals with these residents HAS to be equipped to deal with this population. There has to be programs in place to help assist residents in preparing themselves to become self sufficient.
Anastasia Brooklyn
It's a start but it needs to be higher. How much of that $9 an hour is left after taxes are deducted? It is not a living wage for people who work hard to make that kind of money. I definitely would be willing to shell out a little more to give the employees a little more in their wallets. Gov. Cuomo has made a start, more has to be done. Jessica Arden Heights
The problem with minimum wage laws is that they're harm the very people they're designed to help - low skilled workers. If a job is worth $5/hour and the law requires employers to pay $9, then you are asking employers to give $4 of charity to employees. As employers are in the profit business and not the charity business, minimum wage results in unemployment of the lowest skilled workers who cannot justify the increased wage. And since unskilled laborers are disproportionately minorities, minimum wage laws are also among the most racist laws on the books. They should be abolished entirely.
MikeUpper West Side
The wage should definatly be take higher than 9.00 an hour. Yes there is people who will do it for 7.50 and hour like Carlos, Astoria says but that is for illegal immigrants and It's not fair for Americans. It's hard to like week by week on the wages we have now. 9.00 is a start but it should be raised higher or more people will become homeless and stay In Shelters
Thinking about all the goods and services which have increased in price over the last nine years. An increase to the minimum wage is long overdue. Just for example what was the transit fare nine years ago? What was the average price for gallon of gas back then?
I am surprised the Republicans in NY have never suggested to raise the minmum wage to 15 or 20 dollars in exchange for dismantling safety nets programs that bloat government.Wouldn't raising it to 15/20 dollars allow for the ownership society(free-market) to take hold?
Antonio Bayside
It's amazing how many minority business owners take advantage of minority workers. The Korean market on First Avenue pays their employees $300 per week; the employees work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. It would make me happy to know that the employees working at the small businesses I shop at are making a decent living. The caller who said some jobs are only worth 5.00 an hour is despicable. Minimum wage should be raised to at least 11.00 hour. Kate Midtown East
Why don't people believe small business owners when they say that an increase in the MW will hurt their business? I don't get it. Businesses may be looking to do many things with their payrolls such as make investments or increase health care insurance for employees. I largely trust the small business owner.
Everyone is holding back spending or trying to make ends meet, so I believe the minimum wage should go to 10.00 dollars, but MTA fares and tolls, plus gas should go down. This will stimulate consumers to travel and spend more for merchandise, food and services.
SalUpper West Side
Who are these people who claim they know BEST what a business owner should pay their employees? They are not the owners. They are people, politicians and redistributionists, playing fast and loose with other people's money. Why should we listen to them?
Why not tell those small business owners how much to charge for their products or services?
JennyMurray Hill
All business makes money but their owners or head always cry cause they don't want to pay workers more, they enjoy working them for nothing. It's hard for an ordinary person to service on such small salary, at least pay 16.00 per he. People cannot maintain themselves, it's sad.
You want to know what's gone down over the last few years? amount of things you can buy with income that has remained stagnant, amount of money money you can save. This year my rent went up 4%, health insurance premiums 12%, metro card 10%, salary zero. what's gone down? hope of a good life is fast disappearing, and the American dream is gone.
Meryl Manhattan
New York City is the capital of cheap labor. Period. All of us residents asking for higher wages are innocent or want to be innocent to this fact.
