The Poop : Too many presents - San Francisco Chronicle(Halloween News)

Friday, December 28th, 2007

Or should we just accept the fact that our house is going to look like the inside of a Toys ‘R’ Us for the rest of the year? We grew up getting tons of gifts from my parents for everything, much to my grandparents’ dismay - and to ours, since we knew we weren’t as thankful or gracious as we should have been since it’s not special and it’s exhausting and overwhelming- there were only a few toys/gifts that we were truly excited to receive (Barbie townhouse and Barbie Dreamhouse -different years - were definitely AWESOME). As grandparents, my parents have realized that too much is too much and are respectful of our request not to bring a gift every time they visit, and this Christmas was good since they bought only one gift - one we especially requested too - and it was a huge hit. In order to keep the toy quantity in check, I have culled the toys over the past year, but just flat ran out of time to follow CarenRoma’s excellent suggestion during the lead in to Christmas.

What you know may not be so: When it comes to your health, even … - Indianapolis Star- Halloween News

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

When the body becomes dehydrated in death, the skin around hair or nails may dry out and retract from the nails or hair, making it look as if they have grown. Because shaving removes the dead portion of the hair that lies above the skin’s surface, it’s not likely to affect future hair’s rate or type of growth. Hoping to set the record straight, two Indiana University School of Medicine doctors debunk seven of the most common medical myths in this week’s issue of the British Medical Journal. The idea is not to make fools of their colleagues but to highlight the fact that popularly held medical beliefs are not always true. More Halloween News

The Truth About Designer Jewelry

Thursday, December 27th, 2007
by Ken Morris

I personally think that women are like magpies, they seem to like to collect nice shiny jewelry especially if it made by designers. Women like jewelry because it can add an extra bit of interest into even the most simple of outfits, this makes your appearance much more interesting.

How should I choose Costume Designer Jewelry

You can buy hundreds of different types of designer costume jewelry, it’s not difficult to find as they are available in many different shops. By shopping around you can find the perfect piece of designer jewelry to complement your outfit. Costume jewelry is typically made out of metal, plastic glass and semi-precious stones, the jewelry can be purchased in many different shapes and sizes.

Such jewelry can be made into necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets, brooches or even anklets. There are many different forms of designer jewelry. It is also possible to wear several different designers pieces at the same time to create a completely unique look. This means it is very difficult to actually give a clear definition into what designer costume jewelry actually is. Designer jewelry is designed with people like you in mind, which is why it suits you so well.

History

There are a number of very famous designers all of which are very popular. Even just in the jewelry industry there are several very well established designer labels which produce very high quality jewelry. Two of the best known designers in the jewelry industry are Coco and Kenneth Jay Lane. These designers have given a lot to the jewelry industry. Coco was considered as one of the most powerful women in the world. Kenneth Jay Lane is very popular in Germany and so was included in the Vanity Fair Magazine. Famous clients of this designer include the Duchess of Windsor, Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Vreeland.

Conclusion

If you are open to experimenting with your appearance then it might be a great idea to try out some designer jewelry. Because it isn’t mass produced it should be possible to create unique looking outfits. Designer jewelry will improve your personality, and with any luck also give you more confidence. Everyone that sees you should be able to remember you for a very long time.

Halloween News - Newton boy spreads Christmas cheer - New Jersey Herald

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

At first glance, the waving Santa in the yard appears to be just one more of the many holiday decorations on display in the yard of the Aquilino family home on Park Avenue in Newton. Thomas Aquilino said he works for his aunt, a florist in Jefferson Township, and does odd jobs around the house to make money to buy the decorations. Once the detour started bringing heavier traffic to the neighborhood, he got the idea to wear the suit and wave at passersby. Since then, he said a group of Newton senior citizens added the Aquilino home to their holiday tour this year and people have stopped by to have their children’s pictures taken with “Santa.

Newcomer on block calls Santa display art, but Bremerton neighbors … - Seattle Times- Topic: Halloween News

Monday, December 24th, 2007

It’s not so much the Santa impaled on the cross in front of Art Conrad’s Bremerton home, it’s the headless Santa that sings carols on his front porch that has neighbors crying humbug. Basically, said Conrad, who works in real estate, his display is art, and the fact that it hasn’t been greeted with universal warmth is a sign of good art. He’s taken pictures of his display and is using it in his Christmas cards, with such messages as “Santa died for your MasterCard” and “Have a slightly demented Christmas. Conrad, who has no children, knows his display isn’t setting well with some neighbors, but said he quizzed kids getting off a school bus who told him they thought his Santa was “cool.
