MENTION THIS PPP.FItfg FREE Colors, shapes fight seasonal blahs By Lee Reich THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Thoughts of the drab grays and browns of winter can stir up a desire for some kind of plant ornamentation indoors or out.

Look around: the garden, forest and field can offer bits of decoration. We usually forget about lilies once their fragrant, white trumpets fade, but look now at their dried seed pods. The large capsules, flared open at their ends, are arranged atop short stalks like escaping from the pods would be messy indoors. If you want some winter color, there's no need to spray- paint pine cones or purple coneflower seed heads. Find some staghorn sumac.

Even after the leaves finish their fiery autumn show, the staghorned branches remain capped by plumes of fuzzy, red berries. If you grew popcorn this summer, you could also find winter decoration in those ears which might be red, yellow, brown, white or a mix of those colors. Popcorn is, botanically, a grass, and other ornamental grasses remain decorative indoors and out throughout the winter. Besides staghorn sumac, there Is your hair Y2K ready? american Hair We don't do ten dollar haircuts. We fix them.

next to HijVee In Bettendorf Disney will add 'bloopers' to II And look at the seed heads of purple coneflower. With the petals now gone, all that's left of the flowers are prickly little balls. Those balls the source of coneflower's botanical name, which translates as "hedgehog" look interesting, perhaps bizarre, perched at the end of stalks. Roaming further afield for decoration, one of the first plants upon which you might stumble is a wild clematis called virgin's-bower. Its seed heads look almost like flowers, each with silvery, silky threads radiating out like shaggy manes from the ends of the stalks.

Even more silvery are the contents of milkweed pods, though the shiny, white down and attached seeds repeat viewers," one source said. "Toy Story 2" has earned $140.3 million during 24 days in release. Sources at Disney said the studio plans on rolling out as early as Monday an updated "Toy Story 2" advertising campaign, heavily promoting the humorous outtakes. The revamped reel could hit theaters by Friday, the sources said. Disney sources would not put a price tag on what it will cost to create and subsequently distribute a new reel to the 3,257 screens that the Tom Hanks-Tim Allen-voiced feature is now playing on across the country.

In animated films, unlike their live-action counterparts, bloopers do not come naturally but are manufactured. Even so, artificial flubs and pratfalls can be a major box in holiday cards and artist's cards, which are like giving a small gift. "Photo mounts" a decorative frame for your own photograph. New Age spirituality, with an inspirational or enlightening message. Millennium cards.

Some are sending them instead of Christmas cards this year. GO! Get a grip on what's happening in the Quad-Cities, every Thursday in the limes Toy Story 2' office draw. For instance, Disney originally blooperized the closing reel for "A Bug's Life." The critical response to those funny faux pas was so overwhelming that the studio re-edited "Bug's" final reel and included an additional batch of blunders before redistributing the film to 2,700 theaters last December. Sources estimated that the cost of the "A Bug's Life" revamp was in the $500,000 range. The videocas-sette and DVD versions of "A Bug's Life" also contain the manufactured mistakes, which begin several minutes into the end credits.

"A Bug's Life" was the first animated feature to contain such phony hi-jinks. Disney will likely do the same thing with its VHS and DVD versions of "Toy Story 2." ive A Gift Certificate The Lunchn- Dinner 797-9222 4801 River Moline SHOWCASE 5P J' $5995 HOOVER.

Small red or yellow crabapples still hang from some trees.

The berries become shriveled and mushy, so they're pretty outdoors on the trees, but not very attractive viewed up close indoors. Bittersweet berries remain fiery red even after they have shed their yellow coatings. Another colorful fruit this time of year is multiflora rose. Sprays of these fruits brought indoors are delicate and refined, hardly like the robust plants from which they come. The thin fruiting stems are loosely clustered and capped by small, dark red fruits.

They are hardly noticeable outdoors, but very attractive indoors when plunked into a glass bottle. PET OF THE WEEK Fred Fred is a 7-month-old male lab mix. He is housebroken and very energetic. He can be adopted at Humane Society of Scott County, 2134 W. River Drive, Davenport.
