Green Runner

Green Runner
Who are the Packers targeting for their 1rst pick in the draft? Is Ahman Green be resigned?

I've seen a report they may try for RB Marshawn Lynch out of Cal. I got to see him play a lot and would be happy with this selection. He is a bruising runner who never gave up on a play.

Ahman Green will not be back in a Packers uniform. He's aging and has taken a lot of punishment during his tenure with the packers. If he's still on the board, expect the Packers to take Marshawn Lynch. I think he's a better future prospect than Adrian Peterson is. He's a low-to-the-ground runner with great vision and a natural ability to catch the ball out of the backfield or in the slot. Peterson will be good for... 6 seasons, give or take. His upright running style is going to cut his productive years short (see Eddie George). Assuming the Texans go with Peterson, the Packers will be all over Lynch. Whether or not they use him properly is a different story.

A smartly laid table can have just as much impact on your guests as the food you serve up. Escape the heat of the kitchen and follow expert advice to create a striking setting for the most important meal of the year.

1. Strong foundations

Restaurant designer David Rockwell says 'I like a crowded table because it feels celebratory and like a cornucopia. I'm not a fan of tablecloths - unless you are on holiday. I prefer to use a table runner and great mats instead.' This
cut-out felt runner from Cargo highlights the natural finish of a wooden table for a retro look. Pair with simple white plates to complete the festive feel and accessorise with napkins and place mats.

2. Raise a toast

'Glassware gives the table height, reinforces the colour scheme and adds another layer of interest,' says interior designer Kelly Hoppen. 'I like to use coloured glassware in either a light smoky taupe shade or red for a more dramatic accent.' These Grappa glasses from Graham & Green will be the jewels of your table top and kick the party into action.

3. Get personal

Make your guests feel at home by adding personalised touches to the table, like place cards and home-made crackers filled with thoughtful goodies. This Ruby Range from Marks & Spencer makes the job easy. Then create some mischief by arranging guests to spark off conversation, friendship - or even a little romance...

4. Plate up

Polly Dickens, creative director at The Conran Shop, recommends choreographed disorder for the crockery, 'Make sure it's glamorous but not formal - the best looks are mixed together.'
These glossy red lacquer underplates from Debenhams will add some festive glam and make a striking contrast to your chinaware.

5. Get the edge

Polish, polish and polish some more! Your cutlery should shine like Rudolph's nose. Make sure you've got enough for the big feast. Stock up on simple but durable designs like this Marseilles set from Dibor.

6. Stay fresh

Bring in the garden for natural Christmas chic. 'Cluster small blooms in a handful of mini vases, or put one at each place setting. For a splashy look, fill lofty, narrow vessels with towering stalks or leafy branches that spread upward,' advises Marion McEvoy, former editor-in-chief of US Elle Décor. Get the look with this tall tub vase from OKA.

7. Set the mood

Scatter tealights around place settings to add a warm glow to your festivities. These pretty beaded tealight holders from Graham & Green will make the light dance across the table. Cheap and chic.

8. The little extras
Decant sauces, preserves and brandy butter in pretty dishes like this leaf bowl and spoon from Crocus. They'll add another layer of interest to your table top and create the look of a truly decadent feast.

9. Crowning glory

The centerpiece of the table should express your creativity. 'Make glorious piles of golden fruit, biscuits, cinnamon and goodies on a tiered platter,' suggests Priscilla Carluccio, owner of award-winning store Few and Far. Tina Tsang's Blaue Blume cake stand is a design must-have. Fill it with edible treats and nostalgic childhood decorations.

Annie Deakin is a journalist, fashion and furniture expert and editor at mydeco.com and is currently very impressed by the great range of carpets, furniture and garden tools.
