she later married kidman, and the couple reside in tampa,
florida. in oil drilling and petroleum engineering, a
christmas tree or well head is used in rigs and platforms. she worked with wcw as a valet for billy kidman, shane douglas and kevin nash
until the company was purchased by its rival, wwe, where she continues to work for. in computer networking jargon, a christmas tree packet is a packet with all the options turned
on. but it was a meeting with kevin nash backstage at her first wcw event that landed her a full
time job. the christmas tree as a whole is used to count down to the
start so that the drivers can accurately judge the start. she began acting
classes and was introduced to an agent, who helped her gain a few jobs. each side (because drag racing is a
contest between two vehicles) of the christmas tree has seven lights: two small yellow lights at the top and then in this order
below them: three larger lights, green, and then finally a red light.
encouraged with her accomplishments, wilson moved to los angeles, california to pursue acting. drag racing also has what is called a christmas tree, so named
because of the large number of lights that it has (and the branches which the lights are on). a year later at the same competition she placed 1st. the name (an example of "verbing") comes from one
popular pattern, which resembles a christmas tree. galaxy fitness competition and, within nine months, after no experience in the field, she
placed 13th. reasons for christmas treeing a test include boredom, rebellion, and desperation (for students
who are not prepared for the test). she decided to enter herself in the 1997 ms. for students, to christmas tree a test (specifically a computer-graded
multiple choice test) is to fill in the answer sheet randomly, or in
such a way as to form a design.
torrie thought that this was a
more appropriate path for her, and she began working out and building muscles. this tradition
seems to be limited mostly to the united states. a few years after her battle with bulimia, wilson developed an interest in fitness modeling. flocking can be done with a professional sprayer at
a tree lot (or the manufacturer if it is artificial), or at home from a spray can, and either can be rather messy. she finally recovered, and
decided to abandon modeling. while
this is rather unrealistic, it still adds to the effect of a wintry fantasy. she lost eight pounds, but, in
the process, began a four year long bout with bulimia. while real snow settles in clumps atop branches, flocking is often sprayed all over the tree from the sides.
they visited an
agency and were informed that torrie would have to lose weight to actually be considered for jobs. although much less popular than in the 1980s, fluffy white flocking is sometimes sprayed on trees before decorating to
simulate snow. during high school, after her interest in modeling grow more serious, her mother urged torrie to pursue it. a plain mat of fabric or plastic may also be placed under the stand and skirt to
protect the floor from scratches or water. she quickly found her niche in many school activities including cheerleading, dance and was very competitive in track and field. generally, the difference between a mat and skirt is simply that a mat is placed under the tree stand, while a skirt is
placed over it, having a hole in the middle for the trunk, with a slot cut to the outside edge so that it can be placed
around the tree (beneath the branches) easily. she was painfully shy but she quickly
found friends in her school. a nativity scene, model train, or christmas village may be placed
on the mat or skirt, along with gifts (depending on tradition, all christmas gifts, or
those too large to be hung on the tree, as in "presents on the tree" of the song "white christmas").
born in boise, idaho, her parents divorced and, at 10, she moved to
the small town of mccall, idaho. what began as ordinary cloth has now often become much more ornate,
some having embroidery or being put together like a quilt. torrie wilson (born july 24, 1975 in
boise, idaho) is a fitness model and performer for world wrestling entertainment on the smackdown! brand. even when dripless candles, electric lights and artificial trees have been used, a mat is still usually used as a
decorative feature. 1999 miss wcw winner. since candles were used to light trees until electric bulbs came about, a mat (uk) or "skirt" (us) was often placed on the floor below
the tree to protect it by catching the dripping candle wax, and also to collect any needles
that fall. 2002 wwe divas thong champion. many people also decorate outdoor trees with food that birds and other wildlife will enjoy, such as garlands made from unsalted popcorn or cranberries, orange halves, and seed-covered suet cakes.
march 2004 playboy covergirl. conversely, trees decorated by professional designers for department stores and other institutions will usually have a "theme"; a set of predominant colors,
multiple instances of each type of ornament, and larger decorations that may be more complicated to set up correctly. may 2003 playboy covergirl. individuals' decorations vary wildly, typically being an eclectic mix of family traditions and personal tastes; even a small
unattractive ornament, if passed down from a parent or grandparent, may come to carry considerable emotional value and be given
pride of place on the tree. springboard-back elbow. baubles are another extremely common decoration, and usually consist of a fairly small
hollow glass or plastic sphere coated with a thin metallic layer to make them reflective, and then with a further coating of a
thin pigmented polymer in order to provide colouration. schoolgirl. strands of tinsel may be hung in groups from longer branches to simulate icicles, though this trend has gradually fallen off since the late 1970s.
ddt. lighting with candles or electric lights (fairy lights) is commonly done,
and a tree topper completes the ensemble. swinging
neckbreaker. delicate mould-blown and painted colored glass christmas ornaments were a specialty of czech glass factories from the late 19th century, and have
since become a large industry, complete with famous-name designers. wrestlers she managed: billy kidman, shane douglas, kevin nash, david flair, tajiri
& filthy animals (konnan/k-dog, rey mysterio, billy kidman, eddie
guerrero, juventud guerrera). tinsel and several types of garland or ribbon are commonly used to decorate a christmas tree. current entrance music: "need a little time" by lilian garcia. real potted ones are often sold like this, and artificial ones often come with a "root ball" but only sometimes
with decorations.
previous identities: samantha. a long-standing and simple gimmick is conifer seedlings sold with cheap decorations attached by soft pipe
cleaners. professional debut: april 1999. past gimmicks include small talking or singing trees, and trees which blow "snow" (actually small styrofoam beads) over themselves, collecting them in a decorative cardboard bin at the bottom and blowing them back up to the top through a tube hidden next to the trunk. trained by: madusa, billy kidman. some are instead lit partly or
completely by fibre optics, with the light in the base, and a rotating
color wheel causing various colors to shimmer across the tree. hometown: boise, idaho. since the late 1990s, many indoor trees now come "pre-lit", with several hundred
miniature lights, often the newer type which will stay on even if a bulb is damaged or removed.
birthday: july 24, 1975. some skyscrapers will tell certain offices to
leave their lights on (and others off) at night during december, creating a christmas tree pattern. weight: 133lbs (60.3 kg). a few hotels and other buildings, both public and private, will string lights up from
the roof to the top of a small tower on top of the building, so that at night it appears as a lit christmas tree, often using
green or other coloured lights. height: 5'9" (175.3 cm). these
lights are usually white, but often are green, red, red/green, blue/white, blue, or multicolor, and sometimes with a small
controller to fade colors back and forth. lawns in the
2000s, along with 1990s spiral ones that hang from a central pole, both styles being lighted with standard miniature lights.
outdoor branched trees made out of heavy white-enameled steel wires have become more popular on u.s. other artificial trees which look nothing like a conifer except for the triangular or conical shape, are also used as tabletop
decorations, such as a stack of ornaments. more recent tinsel trees can be used fairly safely with lights. they were
instead lit by a spotlight or floodlight, often with a motorized rotating color wheel in front of it.
they were aluminium-coated paper, meaning that they also posed a great fire
hazard if lights were put directly on them (warnings to this effect are still issued with most christmas tree lights). the first trees which were not green were the metallic trees of the 1950s and 1960s. around 2003, some trees with molded-plastic branches started selling in the u.s.,
intended to look more realistic, but at this stage still falling short in most cases. better trees also have more branch tips, the number usually listed on the
box.
most of the better trees have branches hinged to the pole, though the
less-expensive ones generally still come separately. many trees now
come in "slim" versions, to fit in smaller spaces. these trees have become a little more realistic
every year, with a few deluxe trees containing multiple branch styles. many also have very short brown "needles" wound in with the longer green ones, to imitate the branch itself
or the bases that each group of pine (but not other conifer) needles grows from.
those first trees looked like long-needled pine trees, but later trees use flat pvc sheets
to make the needles. each row of branches is a different size, color coded at the
base with paint or stickers for ease of assembly. the bases of the branches were then twisted together to form a large branch, which was then inserted by the
user into a wooden pole (now metal with plastic rings) for a trunk. they were made the same way, using animal hair (mainly pig bristles) and
later plastic bristles, dyed pine-green colour, inserted between twisted wires that
form the branches.
the first modern artificial christmas trees were produced by companies which made brushes. in 1913, in the sears, roebuck and company catalog. the first feather trees came to the u.s. originating in germany in the 19th century to prevent further deforestation, these "minimalist" trees show off small
ornaments very well.
the first artificial trees were tabletop feather trees, made from green-dyed
goose feathers wound onto sticks drilled into
a larger one, like the branches on a tree. they may also be necessary for people who have an allergy
to conifers. artificial trees are sometimes even a necessity in some rented homes (especially apartment flats), due to the potential fire danger from a dried-out real tree, leading to their prohibition by some landlords. in most of europe, artificial trees are still considered very bad taste,
although even there electrical lights have replaced the candles in most households.
in
the u.s., about 70% of trees are now artificial. some people simply store the whole decorated tree covered in a large bag, ready for the next year. artificial trees are very popular, particularly in the u.s., where despite their lack of realism (both in looks and scent), they are considered more convenient and (if used for several years) eventually less
expensive than real trees. others are produced in a container and sometimes as topiary for a porch or patio.
these trees must be kept inside only for a few days, as the warmth will
bring them out of dormancy, leaving them little protection when put back outside
into the midwinter cold in most areas. some trees are sold live with roots and soil, often from a nursery, to be planted later outdoors and enjoyed (and often decorated) for years or decades.
however, the combination of root loss on digging, and the indoor environment of high temperature and low humidity is very detrimental to the tree's
health, and the survival rate of these trees is low. the long-needled eastern white
pine is also used there. virginia pine is still available on some tree farms in the southeastern united states, however it has poor
winter color and sharp needles.
less-traditional conifers are sometimes used, such as giant sequoia, leyland
cypress and eastern juniper. several other species are used to a lesser extent. and in north america:. commonly used species in northern
europe (including the uk)
are:.
the best species for use are species of fir
(abies), which have the major benefit of not shedding the needles when they dry out, as well as good foliage colour and
scent; but species in other genera are also used. in the past, christmas trees were often harvested from
wild forests, but now almost all are commercially grown on tree farms. the shearing also damages the highly attractive
symmetry of natural trees. european tradition prefers the open aspect of naturally-grown, unsheared trees (as in the photo, above right), while in north
america (outside much of the rockies) there is a preference for
close-sheared trees with denser foliage, but less space to hang decorations.
in
some cases the trees represent special commemorative gifts, such as in trafalgar square in london where the city of oslo presents a
tree to the people of london as token appreciation for the british support of norwegian resistance during the second world war and in newcastle upon tyne, where the 20 m tall main civic christmas
tree is an annual gift from the city of bergen, norway in thanks for the part played by soldiers from newcastle in liberating bergen from
nazi occupation. many cities, towns, and department stores put up public christmas trees outdoors for everyone to
enjoy, such as the rich's great tree in atlanta, georgia, usa and many others. in europe, private christmas trees are not usually
put up until at least the middle of december and are always taken down by the 6th of january. in more northern climates and into canada,
the tree (if not too dry) and other decorations are left up well into january.
homes is to put the tree up right after thanksgiving (the
fourth thursday in november) and to
take it down right after the new year. the most common
tradition in u.s. traditionally, christmas trees were not brought in and decorated until christmas eve (24 december), and then removed the day
after twelfth night (i.e., 6 january); to have a tree up before or after these dates was even considered bad luck.
modern crass commercialisation of christmas has however resulted
in trees being put up much earlier; in shops often as early as late october (which every year attracts adverse comment from much of the shopping public). such patriotic prints of the british royal family at christmas celebrations helped popularise the
christmas tree in britain and among the anglophile american upper class.
in britain, the christmas tree was introduced by king george iii's german queen charlotte of mecklenburg-strelitz, but
did not spread much beyond the royal family until the royal family christmas centered round prince albert at osborne house was illustrated in english magazines, and copied in the united states at christmas 1850
(illustration, left). princess
henrietta von nassau-weilburg introduced the christmas tree to vienna in 1816, and the custom spread across austria in the following years.
in france, the first christmas tree was introduced in 1840 by the duchess of orleans. in
the early 19th century, the custom became popular among the nobility and spread to royal courts as far as russia. it was
regarded as a protestant custom by the catholic majority along the lower rhine, and was spread there only by prussian officials who were moved there in the wake of the congress of vienna in 1815.
the christmas tree remained confined to the upper rhineland for a relatively long time. wax candles are attested
from the late 18th century. by the early 18th century, the custom had become common in towns of the upper
rhineland, but it had not yet spread to rural areas. one strassburg priest, johann konrad dannerhauer, complains about
the custom as distracting from the word of god.
during the 17th century, the custom entered
family homes. another early
reference is from basel, where the taylor apprentices carried around town a tree
decorated with apples and cheese in 1597. its origins can be traced to
16th century germany: ingeborg weber-keller
(marburg professor of european ethnology) identified as the earliest reference a bremen guild chronicle of 1570 which reports how a small fir was decorated with apples, nuts, dates, pretzels and paper flowers, and erected in
the guild-house, for the benefit of the guild members' children, who collected the dainties on christmas day. the modern custom, however, cannot be shown to be descended from pagan tradition directly.
according to one legend, saint boniface attempted to introduce the idea of trinity to the pagan tribes using the cone-shaped evergreen trees because of their triangular appearance. according to adam of bremen,
in scandinavia the pagan kings
sacrificed nine males of each species at the sacred groves every ninth year. among early germanic tribes the yule tradition was celebrated by sacrificing male animals, and slaves, by
suspending them on the branches of trees. a branch of flowering glastonbury thorn is still sent annually for the queen's christmas table in the united kingdom.
medieval legends, nevertheless, tended to
concentrate more on the miraculous "flowering" of trees at christmastime. in roman mosaics from what is today tunisia, showing the mythic triumphant return from india of the greek god of wine and male fertility, dionysus (dubbed by some modern
scholars as a life-death-rebirth deity), the god
carries a tapering coniferous tree. the christmas tree is often explained as a christianization of
the ancient pagan idea that the evergreen tree represents a celebration of the renewal of life. one of the most popular traditions associated with the celebration of christmas, the christmas tree is normally an evergreen conifer tree that is
brought in the house or used in the open, and is decorated with christmas lights and colourful ornaments
during the days around christmas.
