The mosaic was designed by
the POP team which is comprised of 10 students from Edsel Ford High School,
Dearborn High School and Fordson High School. They have been working with Sample
and co-instructor Mohamad Bazzi since September to design the mural and tiles in
various patterns, sizes, and colors for the rail station wall.
Workshop participants will attend a brief presentation about the creative process used to design the mosaic tile wall. POP team members will demonstrate the mold process and assist participants in making a tile or two. Approximately 1,000 tiles will be needed to complete the mural.
“When determining the theme and tile designs for the mosaic, the POP team carefully considered that the station is going to be a transportation gateway, welcoming visitors from near and far when they come to visit Dearborn and The Henry Ford,” Bazzi said.

To make the tile molds, the POP students applied wood, plastic and clay to make a relief of each tile design on medium density fiberboard. Then the team went to TechShop in Allen Park where they learned how to use a VacuForm machine to heat and stretch a sheet plastic onto each relief to create the molds that will be used in making the tiles on Jan. 19 and Feb. 2. The clay tiles will be glazed and fired in HFCC Art Department kilns before being installed at the rail station in late 2013.

Oops, she won't be doing it again: An "X Factor" insider has confirmed to Yahoo!'s Reality Rocks that, after just one season, Britney Spears is not returning to judge "The X Factor" this fall. (Fox had no comment.)
A source close to production said: "Simon [Cowell] and the producers have already been discussing this year's new judging lineup over the holiday, and they have a plan for who they would like already,Cheaper For bulk buying crys talbeads wholesale prices. but Britney has never played a part in those discussions.
"The reality is that toward the end of last season, the main players at the production companies knew they wanted to replace her. She was always a gamble, and a second season always seemed unlikely. She and her team knew it was unlikely that she'd be asked back."
So Britney walks away from the show $15 million richer, but in no other way receiving any real professional boost from her uneven and unimpressive "X Factor" run; it's no surprise,Our extensive range of rubber hose is supplied to all sorts of industries across Australia and overseas. then, that she is apparently exiting the series to refocus on her music career. Despite earlier gossip that Britney would be "fired" from "The X Factor" after failing to bring in big ratings numbers, not to mention the statement above, TMZ is reporting that she is leaving of her own accord. So this seems to be a mutual parting.
Meanwhile, Simon and Fox are out $15 million, and they once again must scramble to retool this still-struggling show for Season 3.
To be honest, Season 3 of "The X Factor" can only be improved by this development, since Britney made Season 1's judges, the often-useless Paula Abdul and the often-hated Nicole Scherzinger, look amazing, to use one of Brit Brit's own favorite words. She made fired Season 1 host Steve Jones look like a personality plus. And she didn't even perform on the show, though it had been reported that $2 million of her salary was supposed to be a "bonus" for doing at least one live "X Factor" performance. Britney simply was not a great judge--certainly not one worthy of a $15 million paycheck.
But you know what? I don't blame Britney for the majority of "The X Factor's" problems, many of which existed long before she came around. Sure, her glassy-eyed demeanor, limited vocabulary, lack of spontaneity, and even greater lack of interest in her own contestants undoubtedly all played major factors in the series' sophomore-season slump. But in the end, Simon is the one who aggressively courted Britney, threw a bunch of money at her, and assumed that Britney's marquee name alone would be enough to make millions of viewers tune in--whether or not she was qualified for the gig.
And if Simon had secretly hoped that the "I got your crazy" singer would become the show's token wacky judge who'd create some trainwreck TV, well then, that's even worse,Professionals with the job title mold maker are on LinkedIn. since any zaniness on Britney's part would have likely stemmed from her long and well-publicized history of actual mental illness. If that was what Simon was really hoping for, then maybe he deserved what he got instead: a judge who wasn't just not wacky, or not crazy, but was just plain old "boring Britney." A boring judge who just took the money and ran after a single season.
So what now? "The X Factor" has had two seasons to get it right, so it'll be make-or-break time come fall 2013. Along with Britney, L.A. Reid also recently exited "The X Factor," leaving two new open spots on the Season 3 judging panel, and so, the judging-panel speculation begins anew. Hopefully Simon will cast wisely this time. Will he try to hire another eight-figure-salary pop star, renewing his pursuit of past contenders like Katy Perry, Beyonce, or Rihanna, and just hope that solves the show's many issues? Or will he seriously consider hiring non-celebrity music-industry experts, as I have long advocated for all of these singing shows? Watch this space to find out if the third time will finally be the charm for "The X Factor."
Before Society Awards took over production of the Golden Globe statues, how they were manufactured, stored, and delivered was less than ideal, Moritz recalled.
“Prestigious awards would come in bubble wrap, arrive broken, late. It was a huge hassle for people and companies,” he said.
Moritz said it took some doing to persuade the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the organization behind the awards show, to put its trust in his young company. But after many months of unrelenting salesmanship, the association agreed to give Society Awards a shot.
“I promised them that I would always personally take care of their every need and always think of new ways to make things better, and I work hard every year coming through on that promise for them,” Moritz said.
The first thing Moritz did was to provide the statuette with a much-needed face lift. The design of the globe, which features the earth encircled by a film strip atop a marble pedestal, didn’t change, but the process of making the statue underwent serious improvement. The award is now more lustrous and as durable as a car engine part.
Moritz, who is involved in every aspect of his company’s design and manufacturing process, explained the finer points of making a Golden Globe. The core of the globe is die-cast zinc.Creative glass tile and stone mosaic tile for your distinctive kitchen and bath. The zinc is injected under heat and pressure into a tool steel mold. The globe gets its gold sheen once a 24-karat electroplating is applied over the core. The globe is then hand-polished and lacquered and placed atop a base. The base, made of muted brown marble, comes from Eastern Europe.
