and create a de sign using flower tape. i bought this for $2at a craft store. you can also buy clear tape to hide this grid. start in the middle and work your way out. work on creating larger lines. they're easier to fill in with flowers. now this is the fun part, but it takes a few tries. to get the flowers the length that looks best, i trim them i found it happens with flowers that are grouped in odd numbers. i tried using this in a bigger vase. it really needed that smaller space to stand out. so i went out and bought a bigger bouquet and tried the same method. i started out with larger flowers, made it easier to fill in. in the end i was proud of the

own flower arrangement, send them to our fix this facebook page. you can find the full instructions on 9news.com/fixit. >> look how she made this in the past two minutes. i think the key here is this grid system. you're seeing it where you're going to put everything. it took less than two minutes. >> and i'm going to add leaves in. and it works best when you group in odd numbers really. and don't be afraid to put them in places where you don't like it, just take it out. you can keep arranging them. >> we're working on making everything on your table. we're testing out recipes and everything like that. friday i tested out some pancakes. we have those recipes on 9news.com.

down the road brandished a gun. the protestors attempted to stop the truck leading to a chaotic scene. a number of people from the crowd were from colorado who came up to north dakota. >> this is our land. this is our ancient land and we've been protecting it since we got off the boat. >> we're all connected to this. we're all responsible for it. and if we don't stand up for it, who will? >> reporter: the protest on rd clear as the final permit for the pipeline is still pending from the u.s. army corps of engineers. along the missouri river and north dakota, maya rodriguez. all right. 8:10. the broncos waking up in new ors

after falling to the raiders last week the broncos are sitting in third place. >> not where they thought they'd be sitting at the beginning of this season. the broncos need to keep their offense from the field today. they leave the league in 3-0. we have one of the best defense in the day but drew brees comes as a serious threat. kick off at 11:00. don't forget to tune in to game "game day live" so we can break it all down. >> i >> it's so uneasy. they haven't been the team they were last year, so there's some uncertainty. but we didn't have the best offense last year either. >> certainly still hope. we have been asking for it and now some moisture is on the way. >> belen is next. 8:11, your

8:14 on your sunday morning. thanks for joining us today. our belen de leon joining us in the backyard now. belen, is it chilly out there this morning? >> yeah, our forecast is going to be cooler today than what it was yesterday. we have a weak cold fro the state that's bringing up some rain and snow in the mountains. here in the metro area it's going to increase our winds, bring us cooling temperatures but it will stay mainly dry for us. look at the headlines for the rest of the week, our temperatures are going to be warm monday, tuesday and wednesday. we could come close to a record high. after that warm and dry spell, we'll see finally and feel some fall-like weather with big drop in temperatures and a chance for rain and snow.

though, kind of a dusting out there at rocky national park. it looks beautiful as the clouds made their way into the northern mountains. here's a look at the radar and satellite. you see that cloud, that is our cold front. the rain and any kind of snow will stay mainly in the mountains. there's a possibility for very light showers, maybe about a sprinkle or two here in the city late this afternoon. but that's about it. let's take you through your planning forecast and we'll have partly cloudy skies through this afternoon and when we'll see some clearing in our skies. the temperatures right now are in the 50s and 40s and out in the eastern plains temperatures are in the 30s. in the mountains temperatures in the 20s while the western slope stands at 39 degrees, so it's chilly out there. afternoon highs, if you are taking your skis or snowboard in the mountains, at times those winds could be a little active on top of the mountain peak. so keep that in mind.

same goes out in the eastern plains. here's a look at your future cast. this shows us where rain, snow might fall, even that cloudiness. we're going to press play, around 11:30 we still have those clouds around town. but no mind, maybe urine side watching that broncos game, those clouds will be outside of your door through this afternoon and evening. through tomorrow morning we've you're starting off your day. tonight we have that super moon happening. now super moon really is kind of a fancy word that really means that the moon will be full and it will be at its closest point to the earth. it's going to be about 221,000 miles from the earth. it's going to appear 14% bigger, 13% brighter and the next super moon won't happen until 2034.

out. 38 will be your overnight low. you will have cold temperatures to bundle up if you want to maybe go outside to watch this. the temperatures are across the state in some spots in the mountains will drop into the teens. here on the front range in north eastern colorado the temperature is dropping into the 30s. the forecast shows warm temperatures arriving for monday, tuesday and wednesday. it's going to be so dry and warm that we're going to see the possibility of f near record highs on wednesday. guys, look at that cooldown from wednesday to thursday, about a 20-degree difference. and then we'll finally see snow in the mountains. crossing our fingers. >> we need that moisture for so many reasons so i am crossing my fingers. 8:17. we have proctor's garden coming up next. julie is

wonderful things with pumpkins

. it means it's time for proctor's garden. teaching us

>> exactly. there's not just, you know, your lates and throw -- lattes these monsters are not good for baking and cooking. >> we're going to have some real fun with this today. >> they're too stringy and too tough and not as sweet. these are called sugar or pie pumpkin. much you can do with them. you have all of your standard pureed things. you can also use them as your cooking vessel. >> what's in there? it's a sausage and rice kind of mixture with some mushroom and things.

thanksgiving dinner. >> you have the cool thing about this is when you eat it, you scrape the sides of the pumpkin as you scoop it out and then you get a little pumpkin. >> it's all part of the plan. >> you can put sweet or savory things in here. >> cheese cake inside of a pumpkin. now we're talking. you get a little spicey and sweet over there. >> exactly. they're kind of the xt which pumpkins can go any direction. so these are almost baked like a squash, you know, like you bake a squash. >> we have two seconds left and i'm dying to talk about this. >> this is the kind of thing you can make with puree. this is almost like a little pumpkin pie in a jar. you have the cookies on the bottom and some carmel in there. >> i love this because think outside the box. think outside

we have things to eat now. we'll be

good morning for the second consecutive weekend. the nuggets fell behind early. reverse dunk. denver is down 7 after that, but the gap was pretty consistent. hard to come back with plays like this. i manuel, lost four of their l colorado's chance to winning the pac-12 conference. the trojans beat washington and the huskies were the pac-12 best perhaps only shot at making the college football playoffs. so they need to win to stay ahead of usc and see you at a big second quarter in arizona. they put 21 on the board including this touchdown pass from lupao to the coach's son, jay mcin tire.

here is your final score against red hot washington state. colorado state looking for the first win at air force since 2002. high-scoring start to this game, justin sweet picks off areyan workman and this one coming back for a score. and then this, tim mcvey gives the falcons the lead and here is the final score of this game. next up for the rams, they are home against new mexico, final game at the stadium. 184 yards and three touchdowns for tanner gentry, however in the losing effort for wyoming. gentry made this one handed catch. then he did it again, late second half. in fact last play of regulation, gentry again with one hand. this tied things up with no time remaining on the clock. wyoming

mountain west play. it took triple overtime. after wyoming interest acceptings, they kicked a game-winning goal. one point away from the highest scoring game in division one football history. northern colorado beat 18th ranked montana in greeley trailing late. kyle hit verna. they beat montana for the first time since 1976. >> rodney billups making his debut as the head coach. the washington star returns to the university of denver where he played college ball. but now he is in charge. billups with support in the crowd as well as brother chauncy in attendance. tad boil also made the trip. rodney was assistant. sloppy turn over. jacksonville turned

. update with breaking news. a powerful earthquake started a tsunami with the first waves hit thing south island just a few hours ago now. the ministry of civil defense still asking people to move to hire ground. they are in the early morning hours right now, with 5:00 a.m. so we'll see more damage as the sun comes up. >> the tsunami happened about two hours after a powerful 7.8

that's an area that's still recovering from a deadly earthquake in 2011. that killed 185 people. earthquakes are common in this area. tremors felt as far away as wellington, so 120 miles away. >> the earthquake was massive, lasted more than a minute. we're still waiting to hear from officials as to how bad this is. let's take a look at twitter right now beca t you see that photo there, windows shattered, store shelves taken down, homes caving in. it is pretty significant. the damage that we're seeing. >> all right. 8:32, let's check in with belen de leon. this is an area that has seen seismic. sgl >> that area especially the

up. there was so much activity overnight. so this morning, here in colorado while it's 8:00 in the morning for us, they're 20 hours ahead of us, we'll wait and hear on what else is happening out there. thankfully we haven't heard about any injuries. >> let's talk about our forecast. highs in the mid 60s. it's a cold front moving through the day. it's a weak one. the clouds, the cooling temperatures and we're going to see those winds in creasing throughout the day from 10 to 20 miles an hour. a live view from our web cam, you can see all of those clouds. it's in the high country right now where we have some of that light snow falling near the divide. the front range mountain and out towards blanco county. here in the front range, it's clouds for us. while you see those darker

tomorrow morning our rain forecast is showing any moisture happening in the high country, especially north of i-70 but we could see a few of those showers work their way to parts of the san juan valley. we need the moisture all across the state. now our morning planner calls for temperatures in the 50s. 9:00, 10:00 this morning, then in the 60s closer to lunchtime with partly cloudy skies. right now we have 50s around town, we have 40s up the eastern plains, 20-degree readings in the mountains. it's chilly up there. the western slope has 39 degrees right now. fast-forward to this afternoon, 50s out west, frisco, 48 degrees and temperatures in the mid 60s for us here. so although it will be cooler than yesterday, this is still above normal for this time of year. now i just showed you where that snow is falling right now and that is where our cold front is currently located. but throughout the rest of the day watch how all this cloudiness

the east as this cooler air dies further into colorado. around this evening 8:00 rolls around, a few clouds in the sky, we're looking at skies clearing. temperatures drop to 39 degrees. it's going to be gusty along the foothills and the temperatures across the state could drop into the mountain valleys. 30s in the metro area, near freezing. so our temperatures for the next few days are going to warm even more. we could see temperatures close danger could be increasing because of this warm, dry and also windy weather monday, tuesday and wednesday. then look at this huge cooldown from wednesday into thursday. our chances for showers in crease here in the metro -- increase here in the metro area. friday, it starts to gradually clear up those winds will be blustery at times with a high of 45. >> we'll check in later, thanks belen. the u.s. embassy in

deadly attacks on a german consulate. secretary of defense ash carter says two u.s. servicemen and two american contractors were killed in the blast. the embassy says it will be closed today as precaution. another 16 u.s. service members, one polish soldier was wounded, the taliban claims responsibility. in iraq human rights groups says isis has been using chemical attacks. chemicals bu of rockets. one hit a coffee shop. children are among the victims. there's a 5-year-old continuing recover weeks after chemicals burned her skin. you can see what it did to her back there. the u.n. says isis may carry more chemical attacks like this. in detroit, michigan, police released a security video in the

car on friday night. the security video that you're looking at shows an impala hitting him. they're asking for the driver to take responsibility. you know it's the beginning of the christmas season when you see that big old tree in rockefeller center. >> that's right. this year's rockefeller's christmas tree arrived saturday. the 90-foot norway spruce was cut thursday the tree's 50,000 lights will be turned on during a tv broadcast on november 30th. let's check in with a look of sports. >> it was a very busy day yesterday. of course it came with a little drama. we had two shoesouts in soccer -- shoot outs in soccer.

. good morning, everyone. two

championship. the 2014 state title game. first half boulder simon julian steps around the defender, launches one at the back of the net to give the panthers a 1-0 lead. broomfield would match that. armando oh campo puts that away. that would later allow his teammate to steal the win. boulder takes the state championship for the first time since 2012. >> first you'll have to get through jefferson academy. the jags got hot at the right moment. a bouncing ball off the corner until brandon settles it with a touch, fires it past the keeper. jefferson academy takes the 1-0 lead. a gorgeous ball

it over to david feldman and we're now tied at 1. we go to over time and eventually we end up at penalty shots. kent keeper ross would come up with two huge saves. kent wins a thrilling finish, 3-2 is your final. >> if you attended the volleyball game last night, three end of the five finals ended up with a sweep this match went back and forth. the big time spike, this title has some drama. it went all the way to a fist and final set. she was dominant all night. the saber cats had a lead. so when we go to match point, the saber cats win their first volleyball

straight volleyball title. in the end, the reds just too much. mckinsey harris gets a thunder win. she helped them cap off an incredible season for eaton. their fourth in a row. >> defending state champ yuma was tough winning the second set 25-21. katie gets the big kill here a ahead to match points. they win the state title for the eagles. it's their first ever volleyball championships and caps off a remarkable undefeated season. >> finally the wildcats were dominant. jenna gets her team to a great start. but kit carson wouldn't go quietly. the team was undefeated and they looked the part.

the of course, that celebration ensues. as we have so much more from all of these state championships, there's not a lot of time so head to our website for more.

? ? ? when you find something worth waiting for, we'll help you invest to protect it for the future.

. it's over. the presidential election is over. so what's next after donald trump's historic win? >> we were also talkingbo good grade. >> good morning and welcome to balance of power. before we get to the presidential race, i figure we can all use a pallet cleanser right now. so let's pause for a moment to look at what happened with judges in colorado. we recently found judges who failed their official review tend to easily win reelection here in colorado. of

recommended for firing, only three lost their jobs. that's 30%. this year, the number's up to 50%. judge michael shif in southeast colorado kept his job with 57% of the vote. the voters up here fired judge jil allen strauss, she lost 58 to 42. she'll be off the bench in january. meanwhile judges will start taking her job. so if you practiced time to get your old resume out. >> this town needs an enma. enema. >> why did i show you that

that line from jack nickel son as the joker got stuck in my mind during the campaign. i thought it made sense in one way. he was taking the joker's advice. modern political campaigns have become full of, well, crap that needed cleaned out. the sort of ignorant middleman between the candidate and people's votes they're after. the next week it's going voters are waiting for someone on high to tell us what they care about. hilary clinton's is the latest and greatest in campaigning. whether you think trump is a joker or a superhero, voters saw they were getting an unfiltered candidate. people found him to be ah thent particular. it -- authentic. it was clear he was running his campaign. there's a lesson for anyone there involved in the process, those of us in the news business.

learn from this week's result. if you go to my twitter, i've got a link, you can check it out. i also write about the fact that in the republican party trump and his ground swell were able to win the nomination while the democratic party was able to stamp out bernie sanders. >> both parties have ignored that part of their base. it's the bernie sanders phenomena and the democratic party and it's the donald trump phenomena in the republican parties. both parties are going to have to deal with this. how it plays out, i don't know. whether or not an actual third party movement can develop and be a realistic challenger and competitor to the other two, i don't know. but i guarantee you, it's not going to be business as usual, it can't be.

their peril. this populous national movement is real. the only thing it has never had is a leader. it's got one now. that's a huge wake-up call. >> t that trump won with these kinds of margins when hardly any polling was predicting this means that there's something else really going on and i think people are really upset. i think the level government is a lot higher than we think. and i think those of us that are left to this need to wake up to that. what the bernie sanders people were saying, we need to pay attention to, and that is going to become the sole of the democratic party for the near future.

the extreme things. >> my right to be sexually harassed, my right to be sexually assaulted for equal wages, for reproductive rights, those don't matter to america. and that's disheartening and scary and it's a similar feeling in communities of color where it doesn't matter whether you demean a judge or whether you want to build a wall or you point out certain immigrant groups and target them. there's been an acceptance of anti-woman, anti-immigrant, anti-people of color, according to tonight's results. >> another theme we heard was uncertainty. republican george brockler told us he had to vote for trump. he has more

don't really know. so much of this campaign has been about personality and about character and about negativity towards one another. we really haven't had a lot of in-depth discussions about policy. and about philosophy and political idea yolg. we really haven't had a lot of conversation about that. we're going to know a lot more about this guy who is going to become the most powerful person on this planet. >> that's going to do balance of power. we'll see you here on sunday. . a lot to digest. moving forward, the broncos take on the saints in new orleans. >> "game day live" post, michael show us how important it is.

. broncos will play in the super bowl -- superdome in new orleans today. the saints have had a strong couple of weeks, the broncos not so much. coach kubiak knows that well. hoping they can shut down drew brees

strong, they need this win. >> yeah, i think the broncos got the saints at the wrong time. new orleans starts off the season 0-3. the broncos are struggling and that's why and i know you disagree with me, i think this game is absolutely crucial. i don't think they can fall to six and four. i know it's not an afc game and conference, but they have to right this wrong especially with the way the raiders and the chiefs are rolling right now. >> i don't think this i game. i think the broncos can get smoked today and still be okay because i think the best news of the week, which doesn't help them this week, is that coming back after the bye. >> all right the afc west, maybe you need this game for the afc west, but i don't think that's all that important to this team right now. what they need to do

bye, then they have the chiefs, jacksonville, tennessee, they'll be 9 and 4. they'll be all right. >> i'll agree if they lose this, but i think it's a big -- i think it's a big deal. we're going to talk a lot about trevor sim yon and drew brees coming up in "game day live," but let's talk about the running backs because the broncos have to get back on track. >> there's a lot of mismatches work against the broncos. the runn the new orleans saints last week albeit against the 49ers rushed for 247, the broncos gave up 218. that's with three neil downs against the raiders. that is huge for the broncos if they want to have any chances to control the saints' running game. >> guys, we'll send it back to you. >> certainly a lot to talk about. thank you.

>> i'm getting a lot of questions about the super moon tonight. so let's take a look at that. lots of people are asking when is that moon going to rise. it's going to rise at 4:37 this afternoon, but it will be at its fullest tomorrow morning at 6:52. still, if you want to see it this afternoon, you're going to get a great sight. it's sobriety and so big. and so big. beavers are pre paring their dance and getting ready for winter. the temperatures aren't going to look winter like monday, tuesday or wednesday, but we could see a lot of snow on thursday. >> i say we plan a ski trip for thursday.

a big challenge for us. no. 1 offense in the league. >> i think we just need to play our game. >> improving. >> i think this place may be louder. a tougher place to
