www.marjennings.com Recycled Wrapping:
In this age of consumerism, nothing speaks more to a "green" lifestyle than recycling paper, fabric and other goods that can be used to wrap packages and gifts. Any chance I get and whenever possible, I save various and sundry items that I may not have a use for at the moment but invariably become a source of inspiration when I need to wrap a gift. I have two favorite materials that I always save and use for wrapping: those would be wallpaper and burlap fabric. Both make a natural, organic statement and are suitable for any occasion. Wallpaper Wrapping
Biodegradable jute twine
Boxwood clippings
Silver Christmas balls (1 ¼ inch) already wired available at any holiday supply store
Tape When wrapping with wallpaper, remember that it is quite stiff.
'Noble' effort by Colts' Johnson
He was pretty sad that reality had hit,'' said Larry Johnson, no relation to Ed. ''He asked, 'Coach, what happened?' I said, people don't know you so, based on the information they get about your character issues, that's what they're going to think.''
But after the draft, the Penn State coaches who kicked Johnson off the team also went to bat for him. Head coach Joe Paterno called the Indianapolis staff to recommend Ed Johnson as a free-agent signee. The Colts signed Johnson in May -- with a caveat.
''The first time he walked into their offices, [Colts head coach] Tony Dungy and [president Bill Polian] told him, 'The only reason you're here is because we have great respect for Coach Paterno and the Penn State program,''' Larry Johnson said. '''If you get out of line, you're gone tomorrow.'
''Before he got on the plane out of here, the last thing I said was, 'Don't blow this opportunity, because you won't get any more.' He took heed to those words.''
Ed Johnson's opportunity came rather quickly.
Tom Cruise’s Holiday Campaign vs. Nicole Kidman
Abdy's East Coast beau, the Post reported, is reputed Luchese-made man Joseph Perna. He wasn't the only mobster arrested on Thursday. So, too, was Abdy's uncle, former Luchese Jersey boss Martin Taccetta, 58, as were Perna's two brothers and his father, reputed capo Ralph Perna. The group was charged with running a gambling ring that raked in $2.2 billion in 15 months and used violent tactics to collect gaming debts. Dozens of their conversations were caught on tape by federal investigators. But what makes Abdy's role in this all the worse are quotes in the government papers in which she equated the mob and the movie business. (Shades of Tony Soprano's nephew, Christopher!) According to MacIntosh's report, during the taped conversations, Perna gave specific examples of the differences between his line of work and his girlfriend's, noting that in the movie biz, there's "no gun and there's no sword" and they "don't prick the finger" — both describing established traditions of a Mafia induction ceremony.
