Following on from my previous article, where I was providing insights below influential in the mobile phone market at Christmas, we Äôll now focus on three of my five top picks for late this year. Apple iPhone (8GB exclusive O2) Apple, the prestige of the AM in the computer and the world of music through his iPod seems to have translated well in the mobile phone industry. Despite the iPhone, specifications aos drawing fire for being a little late, with 2 megapixel camera, compared to 3. 2 or 5 megapixel phones offer more to the party – and no 3G data – it still holds its own with an innovative touch interface. It also doubles as one of the players most ubiquitous MP3, recently, the iPod. With the latest iPod MP3 player means that the user-unfriendly media functions of other mobile phones are overshadowed by this phone. The iPhone has other unique features such as dimming the backlight when it detects that the user has the phone to the face in a call and be able to watch videos in widescreen on its 3. 5in screen simply by pressing the phone on its side. While in no way perfect, the iPhone is a very stylish mobile phone and credibility that many people find attractive. LG KU990 Viewty (All Networks) The LG ÄúViewty, Au, like her, to aos other even a little crazy named models – Shine Slide, chocolate? ” – Is drop dead gorgeous. The design is in cahoots with the iPhone, the adoption of a large touchscreen for keyboard and slim design. Many hail this phone as what the iPhone should have been, with a 5 megapixel camera and even DivX video playback. It seems so similar to the iPhone that could be his twin. As this, the camera, aos video function is a nice addition and potentially hilarious in that it can shoot video at 120fps, meaning that when playing you get perfect playback in slow motion. The phone can also take MicroSD memory cards that are becoming the industry standard with sizes up to 8 GB for photos, music and video. With only a few years in the industry under his belt, LG has quickly made an impression. Its mobile phones are designed specifically for the style conscious, so that Prada has lent its name to one of the previous iterations of this model. With its perfect balance of style and substance, the future of LG in the mobile sector seems positive. SonyEricsson K850i (O2, Orange) SonyEricsson has always been a slight advantage in the mobile market. Being from two technology companies equally successful, and Sony Ericsson, it has had much experience to draw upon. This was evident in its Walkman phone range delay, and the Cybershot from which this device is the latest version. The K850i is like many other handsets with a camera phone with 5 megapixels, so the pictures are guaranteed superior quality. It also has both Xenon and LED flash and a BestPic function, so there is never a bad picture again. While not strictly a Walkman phone, it still works competently as an MP3 player with the ability to download podcasts and favored by high rates of speed HSDPA data. Like most other mobiles in these articles, it is fully functional 3G phone with a pinhole camera on the front of the phone for video calls. The keyboard, while inventive, has received mixed reviews with some people claiming the keys are too small and the directional pad integrated into the keyboard a little awkward. Despite what the phone is still attractive to come in two color ways: black with silver and light green with dark blue velvet. So this is just a selection of the many feature packed mobile phones on offer on pay monthly and pay as you go mobile phone tariffs. Now more than ever, owners of phones are able to get great deals on equipment that will replace many of our old players and MP3 digital cameras, and our mobile phones. With one hand many phones also offer cashback is now as good a time as any to upgrade to mobile news. So treat yourself this Christmas and see the offers of mobile phones on offer!

About 15 Years Ago I Bought Some Christmas Ornaments Made of Biscuit Dough and I Would Like the Recipe Please
They are cookie cutter hearts and houses. Their top surface is very gently rounded, almost flat, and they are about half an inch thick and an even light brown colour. They have a hole with ribbon through to hang in the tree. They definitely look like they are made of foodstuff and not craft clay or anything, yet they are not salt dough and they have not been glazed or varnished. They have not deteriorated in 15 years and not been attacked by biscuit beetle or bugs. I keep them in a glass jar. There is royal icing piping on them in patterns of snow flakes and dots and swirls. They came in cellophane bags when I bought them AND WOULD YOU BELIEVE, THE CELLO BAGS WENT YELLOW, HARD AND CRACKED AND SELF DESTRUCTED AFTER ABOUT 3 YEARS, so I put them in fresh cello bags every few years. I would love to make some more. The labels came off them years ago and got lost. I bought them in a department store. They are about 5 inches across.
Dear ViSaja
I clicked on the link, thank you. In Australia, white glue that is used in school by kids, is called KLAG. I suppose it would be equal to Elmer’s. After reading your answer, I bit the bullet and went to the jar and with trepidation, tongued one of the hearts. No taste of salt at all, could taste flour, and had aftertaste of maybe GLUE. I will try the recipe, thank you. After I wash my mouth out!!!!
Joanne, thank you for your link. I joined that site.
Coca-Cola’s Big Mistake: New Coke 20 Years Later.
On the night of April 22, 1985, somewhere near Purchase, NY, Roger Enrico, president of Pepsi-Cola USA, was smiling. And who could blame him? He was about to declare victory in the longest running war in cola history – a knock-down, dragout affair between two companies the likes of which the world had never seen before. Little did Enrico know that what was starting out as a victory over big red rival Coca-Cola was about to snowball into a summer-long soap opera epic. He probably had butterflies in his stomach much the same as Coca-Cola CEO Roberto Goizueta and president Don Keough but for very different reasons. When morning dawned on April 23rd, it was an average Tuesday in every way possible. But the world was about to learn that the fate of their favorite cola, with the most well-known trademark on Earth, was destined for the most drastic change in its nearly 100 year history. And no one was ready. For several years prior, Pepsi-Cola had been slowly closing the marketshare gap between the two cola giants and as the Pepsi Taste Challenge had indicated, people seemingly wanted a slightly sweeter cola with less bite than Coke had. No matter how much The Coca-Cola Co. spent on advertising, no matter what they did. . . the gap with their biggest rival was closing fast – something drastic had to be done. According to a New York Times report, Coca-Cola came upon the new formula while developing Diet Coke, which was introduced in 1982. With Coca-Cola executives mindful of their slipping market share, they began their own taste tests using Coca-Cola and several new variations. In testing a number of taste formulas, the company found one that stood out. When it was put in a Coke can and compared side by side with the old formula in blind taste tests, the new product was chosen by consumers 62 percent to 39 percent. Over the Christmas holidays in 1984, top Coke executives including Goizueta, Keough, Brian Dyson and Ike Herbert decided unanimously to change the Coke formula just shy of its 99th anniversary. While the new formula was being finalized, a set of commercials for the brand re-launch were being filmed with actors unaware they were pitching a new formula. The brand re-launch was kept top secret – even Coca-Cola bottlers and the majority of Coke employees weren’t told of the impending reformulation until the day before the infamous New York press conference. For bottlers who knew all too well the lagging sales numbers, the reformulation was welcome news. Goizueta and Keough received a standing ovation from bottlers as Goizueta proclaimed to them in a private gathering, “Now we’re back in the ballgame. ” The euphoric feeling was short-lived. Ironically, the meeting with bottlers on April 22 was held in the Woodruff Arts Center, named after Coca-Cola ‘boss’ Robert Woodruff, who had dedicated most of his life to the company and promoting the original formula. Woodruff passed away only a month before the reformulation announcement. The Press Conference Heard Around the World April 23, 1985 is one of those days in history that Coke drinkers remember well. It ranks up there with other world events where you always remember where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news. If Goizueta had taken a moment to open up the morning paper that day before heading to Lincoln Center to make his earth-shattering announcement, he might have been fuming. Since word had leaked out several days before the formula change press conference, Roger Enrico took out a full page ad in major newspapers across the United States the day of the Coke press conference, declaring that the Cola Wars were over – Pepsi had won. To celebrate their victory, Enrico declared that Friday, April 26, 1985 would be a company-wide holiday for Pepsi employees. It’s hard to say what Goizueta thought of his rival’s cocky newspaper announcement – he probably figured it was only a matter of time before the ‘new’ formula Coke made people forget they’d ever heard of Pepsi. Afterall, Goizueta himself said that New Coke was the surest move ever made. Goizueta and Keough walked onto a stage at Lincoln Center for a press conference with 700 journalists and film crews – along with satellite feeds to media in Atlanta, Houston and Los Angeles. The world was watching. The lights dimmed and a montage of Coca-Cola feel-good moments were shown – shots of Americana with Coke imagery. . . the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, wheat fields, Eisenhower and JFK, and Families. When the commercials were finally over, the lights returned and Goizueta took to the podium. “The best has been made even better,” he announced, reading from his prepared notes. “Some may choose to call this the single boldest marketing move in the history of the packaged goods business. We simply call it the surest move ever made. Simply stated, we have a new formula for Coke. ” When the floor was finally opened up to questions from the press, they were anything but kind. “Are you 100 percent certain that this won’t bomb?” a St. Louis reporter questioned. Another journalist asked Goizueta to describe the new taste. At first he stumbled, then found the words he was searching for. ‘I would say it is smoother, uh, uh, rounder, yet, uh, yet bolder. . . a more harmonious flavor,’ Goizueta responded. When asked if the company was changing the formula in response to the Pepsi Challenge, Goizueta lost his composure. ‘Oh gosh no,’ he said. ‘The Pepsi Challenge? When did that happen?’ Question after question was pelted towards Goizueta and Keough. A final question was asked that left a bitter taste in the confident C. E. O. ’s mouth, asking whether diet Coke might be reformulated, ‘assuming that this is a success’. “No. And I didn’t assume that this is a success. It is a success,’ Goizueta snapped. And just like that, the press conference was over. The early publicity that New Coke received was mixed – but largely favorable. More than 80 percent of the U. S. population was aware of the new formula within days of the announcement. The Coca-Cola Company took to the streets of Atlanta for its huge sampling campaign. In New York, workers who were renovating the Statue of Liberty were the first in New York to get cans of New Coke. Coke spared no expense with red and white balloons, fireworks, New Coke samples, and airplanes dragging advertising banners through the skies. It was pagentry at its grandest. But it didn’t take long for the public to react to the formula change and it was perhaps the biggest collective rejection in the history of consumerism. Soonafter, Coke loyalists asserted their dislike for New Coke in ways you had to see to believe. Dan Lauck, a television journalist from San Antonio drank nothing but six-and-a-half ounce bottles of Coke – at a rate of 15 per day. He regularly skipped breakfast and lunch just so he could continue to drink Coke while managing his weight. He hated New Coke, and he knew he’d never switch. When he heard the news about New Coke, he immediately went out and bought 110 cases of the original. Members of the press, mindful of the public’s obvious dislike for New Coke, ran their own taste tests, surveys and public opinion polls. The results were obvious by the endless stories printed in the month of May as the media reported the bad taste that folks were left with. Houston Astrodome crowds booed New Coke commercials on the stadium’s giant video screen. Novelty songs were written about when ‘Coke WAS it’. And yes, even Coca-Cola delivery drivers were assaulted. Mark Pendergrast, author of the popular book For God, Country & Coca-Cola doesn’t recall a lot of personal memories of April 23, 1985 – at the time, he rarely drank Coca-Cola and New Coke certainly wasn’t an issue that affected him much at the time. But in researching and writing his history book about The Coca-Cola Company years later, he had a unique perspective, unjaded by a formula change that insensed cola connoisseurs across North America. “It was amazing that everyone was having this gigantic nervous breakdown about it. When I researched and wrote the book I interviewed a bunch of people for whom it did mean everything. ” In the late 1970s and early 1980s, America had lost its identity, Pendergrast says. From Watergate and Vietnam, to high inflation and very rapid change in the country. It caused a loss of confidence by the American public. “All kinds of things were changing under our feet,’ he says. ‘Coca-Cola was really a symbol of something that was seemingly solid and it represented something that wasn’t changing. So when they changed it, it really hit people where they hurt because of the slide of our culture into disfunction. People were looking back nostalgically on a time which certainly had its problems but where we seemed to be more together as a country. ” Marketing experts suggested that the company’s original studies and taste tests had missed one very key aspect – they had failed to take into account the world’s loyalty to the 99-year-old drink and their emotional attachment to it. Studies had focused on taste alone rather than brand preference. And when taste testers blindly chose New Coke over original Coke, they were never told that New Coke would ultimately replace the original. Admittedly, it was a mistake but in some folks’ minds, it was a national disaster. And then there were the angry calls and letters that the Coca-Cola Company’s head office was flooded with. In early May, it was about 1,000 calls a day to the 1-800-COKE consumer hotline. By June it was 8,000 calls a day. Richard Mix, one of the leading authorities on Coke bottle collecting, and resides just outside Atlanta, came close to working for the Coke call center that same spring. “In 1985 I was in college at The University of Georgia. When The Coca-Cola Company introduced New Coke in April I was applying for summer internships at numerous companies. The day after I accepted an internship at Rockwell I got a call from Coke offering a summer job in the consumer product information center. They had to expand the call center due to the major increase in consumer calls. After much consideration, I decided to stay with my commitment and work at Rockwell,” he says. Mix often wonders what would have happened career-wise had the call from Coke come a day earlier. How to sell the world a New Coke? Bill Baver worked for The Coca-Cola Company for some 37 years on the delivery route and then in the pre-mix area of the company. Fortunately, he retired nearly a full year before the introduction of New Coke in ‘85 and avoided the consumer backlash. The reaction of the introduction of New Coke in 1985 by consumers certainly didn’t come as a shock to Baver. ‘Because we’ve been living on it since we were weaned,” he points out. “I might have been bitter in 1985 because I wasn’t happy with my pension – I probably drank more whiskey than Coke at that time anyway,” Baver jokes. Though he doesn’t envy the salesforce that had to go out and try to sell New Coke to a dissatisfied public, Baver has no doubts about how he would have done it. “I would still be going out there and telling you it’s the best damn drink in the world. I’m just that type of guy. I’d swear that it’s the best thing there is and nothing’s different although we know there is. ” But some Coke drinkers weren’t content with any explanation or sales pitch. In Marietta, Georgia, a Coca-Cola delivery man was assaulted by a woman with an umbrella while he stocked a grocery store shelf with New Coke. “You bastard,” she yelled, “you ruined it – it tastes like shit!” When a nearby Pepsi driver snickered at the scene, she blasted him as well. “You stay out of it! This is family business. Yours is worse than shit!” The Company Conceeds Defeat: June sales of New Coke dropped off the map. To make matters worse, a 57-year-old Seattle man, Gay Mullins, founded a group he called the Old Cola Drinkers of America. Together with his supporters, he garnered significant media attention by publically dumping New Coke down the sewer while the media filmed his every move. Mullins also filed a class-action lawsuit against Coca-Cola to force the company to return to the original formula. It was thrown out of court. Nearly 40,000 letters of protest piled up at Coke’s head office in Atlanta. It was finally becoming clear to Coca-Cola what must be done. On July 11, less than 3 months after the introduction of New Coke, the Company acknowledged they had made a major miscalculation. Once again Goizueta and Keough faced the press to announce the return of Coca-Cola Classic. “There is a twist to this story which will please every humanist and will probably keep Harvard professors puzzled for years,” said Keough at the press conference. “The simple fact is that all the time and money and skill poured into consumer research on the new Coca-Cola could not measure or reveal the deep and abiding emotional attachment to original Coca-Cola felt by so many people. “The passion for original Coca-Cola – and that is the word for it, passion – was something that caught us by surprise. . . It is a wonderful American mystery, a lovely American enigma, and you cannot measure it any more than you can measure love, pride, or patriotism. “Some critics will say Coca-Cola made a marketing mistake. Some cynics will say we planned the whole thing. The truth is we are not that dumb and we are not that smart. ” As the press conference came to a close, Keough presented Gay Mullins with the first case of Coca-Cola Classic. Suddenly, it was a love-fest for Coca-Cola, with newspapers across North America splashing the news across front pages everywhere. Letters and calls continued to come in from consumers, but this time they were messages of delight, relief, and thanks. For Coke aficionados, all was right with the world again. For nearly a year afterwards, both Cokes co-existed side by side. But confusion in the marketplace about how to sell both simultaneously, a lack of shelf space, and a shrinking market share of New Coke helped it disappear from most North American markets. All told, the New Coke fiasco cost The Coca-Cola Company $4-million to research and develop. After a few dismal months in 1985, the cola giant roared back with the help of a grateful American public. The marketing blunder of epic proportions had inadvertently taken its misguided company to the top once more. Pendergrast says he has often thought about what other products, if they had changed the flavor of the product, would have caused such an incredible uproar. “I can’t think of a branded product that that would be true of. ” The Happy Accident Remembered: In 1995, The Coca-Cola Company held a celebration honoring New Coke’s 10th Anniversary. Roberto Goizuetta addressed Coke employees at the event saying, “We set out to change the dynamics of sugar colas in the United States, and we did exactly that – albeit not in the way we had planned. But the most significant result of ‘new Coke’ – by far,” Goizueta said, “was that it sent an incredibly powerful signal . . . a signal that we really were ready to do whatever was necessary to build value for the owners of our business. ” Two years later, Goizueta succumbed to cancer – but the company forged ahead without their longtime leader. Goizueta drank New Coke right up until his death, insisting it was still the best tasting cola the world over, no matter what the consumer said. Pendergrast says that if the company is smart, they’ll hold a similar celebration to mark the 20th Anniversary of New Coke as they did for the 10th Anniversary. “They should make a big deal of it because the moral of it was perfect for the company as Don Keough said at the time – anything that gets all this attention and gets our favorite customers rushing back to thank us is a pretty good thing. ” What if New Coke Hadn’t Happened? With nostalgic memories of Coca-Cola being ressurected as ‘Coca-Cola Classic’ in July of 1985, it begs the question – what if New Coke had never happened? What if it had all been just a dream? And what if the company had introduced New Coke in 2005 instead of in 1985 – what would the reaction have been? Pendergrast doesn’t think it would have caused nearly the commotion today as it did 20 years ago. “I doubt that you would have as much of a reaction. I hope I’m wrong – maybe I’m just jaded. I think it would cause an uproar, but maybe not as much. ” And with the company’s many brand extensions taking over coolers around the world with Vanilla Coke, Coca-Cola With Lime, Cherry Coke, C2, and others on the horizon, is there a chance of a Coca-Cola reformulation ever happening again? “Never say never,” Pendergrast says. “But I doubt they will ever attempt it again in our lifetime. If they did, they would probably have enough brains to keep the old one and just offer the new one as a line extension. If they had offered New Coke as an alternative but have kept the old one, I don’t think they would have had such a problem. ” On the otherhand, if The Coca-Cola Company hadn’t reverted back to Coca-Cola Classic in the summer of 1985 and stayed with New Coke, Pendergrast believes the beverage landscape would look much different than it does today. “I think Pepsi would be the dominant soft drink in the country today by far. I think it would have been a total disaster. ” Baver disagrees. “I don’t feel that Pepsi could have overtaken Coke because we had the other products. Sprite killed 7UP, it hurt them badly. We had Fanta, Tab and Diet Coke, at that point in time there’s no way Pepsi could have surpassed Coke I don’t think. ” These days, when Pendergrast hears the words ‘New Coke’, he immediately thinks of Bill Cosby appearing in commercials “trying to make it all better,” Pendergrast jokes. “It’s a wonderful quintisentially American love story, and a crazy story. The moral of it is that people are capable of getting excited about the stupidest things but it’s also quite touching. I like that sort of story. I hope that we are capable of being just as excited nowadays, 20 years on, as we were then. But I don’t know. ” New Coke (Coke II) faded from most U. S. markets by the early 1990s. In Chicago, however, sales of Coke II remained strong and continued to flourish for years; it was finally shelved in 2002.
Organize Christmas Items to Preserve Them for Years to Come
Organizing your Christmas items is the most effective way to preserve them for the years to come. While some of your Christmas decorations may simply be items used to fill an empty spot, for many of us, each item carries special memories. Whether it is a paper wreath made by a child, or an ornament purchased on your honeymoon, these items deserve special treatment. While any item can be broken or damaged while on display, items that are damaged while in storage are heartbreaking. To prevent this from happening, it is important to carefully plan how you are going to store your holiday treasures and take the time to store them properly. So what is the best way to protect your precious memories? The first step is to know which dangers are present that can damage your decorations. While you know that the main concern for your Christmas decorations is breakage, but it is not the only threat present that can damage your ornaments. Others important dangers to your decorations are moisture and sunlight. Understanding each of these dangers can help you store your decorations properly to prevent any serious damage. Protect From Breakage Protecting your Christmas ornaments from breakage is the main concern of many. There are several ways to do this. The first is to invest in storage containers that are specifically made for Christmas storage. Ornament boxes are made of a sturdy plastic and have spaces for each ornament individually. This prevents the ornaments from hitting against each other and prevents the box from being smashed if it is stacked in the garage or basement. If your storage containers have empty room in them after careful packing, fill the space with crumpled newspaper or tissue paper. This prevents the items from banging against each other, which can lead to breakage. Protect From Moisture While breakage is an obvious problem, moisture is a more insidious one. You may not realize that moisture is damaging your ornaments until it is too late. Moisture is particularly damaging to soft items but can damage anything. If you must store your Christmas items in a damp area, there are several things that you can do to minimize the damage. Store your decorations in plastic containers; raise them a few inches off the ground and add silica gel to packing containers that contain wreathes and soft decorations. This can help prevent moisture from damaging your decorations. Protect From UV Damage Prevent damage from ultraviolet rays by storing your decorations in colored, non-clear containers. UV rays not only bleach out fabric but can weaken it as well. Many plastic containers that are used for storage are clear or opaque. While these are acceptable for storage in a basement, if the storage area receives light through windows, you should invest in colored plastic containers. Once you know what the threats are to your Christmas decorations, you can protect them much more effectively. Proper organization of your holiday items allows you to find them easily and know that they are protected. While the initial investment in specially designed storage containers may cost more than storing the items in cardboard boxes or trying to fit them back into their original containers it is in an investment that will pay off. You will increase the life of your holiday ornaments, and make the decorating process one you enjoy rather than dread each year. Purchasing the proper storage containers for items such as wrapping paper, ceramic collectibles and candles is a treat that you deserve. The person that does the majority of the decorating should have the option of choosing which storage solutions would work best for the family. They are familiar with not only the decorations, but also the areas where the decorations are stored. This provides them with the most insight into what problems the area of the house may have such as moisture, rodent problems, or intense sunlight. Once you have invested in these storage containers, they should last as long as your keepsakes. Avoid over packing to prevent the boxes from stretching out. This can cause problems with the seals in your lids, and handle with common sense for the longest life. While there is no reason to be overly gently with these storage containers, do not stack heavy boxes more than three high, and do not throw them around. Just because your items are tucked securely into, their storage container does not mean you can throw the boxes around as if you would other, unbreakable, loads. Ornament storage is important because each decoration has many memories that go with it and learning the proper way to store these decorations can be very beneficial. Consider these tips during the next holiday season and you can safely store your decorations for many years to come.
Does Anyone Know How to Make Gold/White Paper Christmas Star Decoration Shown in Woman’s World 2/3 Years Ago?
It was just a small box with instructions on how to make an easy, but complicated-looking Christmas star from white and gold paper. It involved nothing but folding, cutting and taping together several squares of paper. It made a beautiful decoration, but sadly I have forgotten the process. Do you remember? Or maybe still have your old copies?
