The second revision for the week is found in the lower part of the table which shows players whose xP greatly exceeded their actual points. These are the players who deserve a bit more attention that they might otherwise receive and should be monitored closely as they are likely not being purchased by the masses.
- Buy - the player can be purchased immediately taking consideration of his playing time, fixtures, injury status etc. This status does not necessarily mean you should buy him now as it depends who else you own, only that it is reasonable to do so.
- Hold, and/or monitor - if you own the player you're not in a rush to sell him but there's sufficient risk here to justify potential buyers holding off.
- Sell - the player has too many risks and should either be sold or not purchased. This does not mean he might not have value in the future, just not right now.
Santi Cazorla 23
Obviously the underlying stats don't support a hattrick, but then they likely never will (you'd need nine shots on target to justify it). Watching the game Cazorla was good value for a big points haul and the fact he was getting on the end of chances (particularly the header) shows that the concern that he would assist too many assists, can be put aside for one week. He's one of the few players without any real concerns and, while some will chatter about Arsenal's decline, they're still a good attacking unit and Cazorla looks well placed to take advantage of that fact.
Status: Buy
Christian Benteke 15
Benteke obviously out gained his xP for the week, though that's always going to the case with big scores as the xP calculation is 'digital', allowing players to score, say 0.5 goals, where as in reality the situation is much more 'analog', as you obviously need to score in whole numbers. While his three shot performance isn't indicative of a player likely to rack up big points every week, Benteke's stats are pretty encouraging, and with four very good xG performances over the last six weeks, his owners will feel he was due an over achievement one of these weeks.
Benteke's underlying trends look a touch odd, with him taking more shots outside the box (evidenced by a declining SiB%) yet hitting the target with more consistency (increasing SoT%). So long as that SoT% doesn't suffer too much, there aren't too many issues here, though we also need to keep an eye on his share of Villa's shots, as unlike someone like Aguero who could survive with a small piece of a large pie, Benteke needs to be dominating Villa's chances if he's going to continue his excellent season. Villa don't do well in the model's forecast for the next eight gameweeks, though, again, that isn't a huge issue so long as Benteke is accounting for a large portion of Villa's production. While they don't enjoy any games which look overly promising, they don't have any in which you would definitely want to bench Benteke either.
Status: Buy, as a differential third forward
Lukas Podolski 14
Podolski looked great in this one, and in some ways was equally as impressive as Cazorla as an attacking threat. He balanced when to come inside and when to stay out wide well and looked a genuine threat to score and assist goals throughout the game. At 8.2m he's a touch pricier than you'd like for a player who can sometimes be somewhat isolated out wide, but he's a genuine goal threat who can convert goals at a rate on a par with many of the league's best players and given the next four games, I'd be more than happy to load up on Gunners.
Status: Buy, though I have some concern about his value for money
Adel Taarabt 14
Taarabt's underlying stats suggested he was always capable of putting together some big gameweek scores, though as shown above, the fact that his two goals this week came on seven SoB, we wouldn't really suggest this kind of outcome is sustainable (SoB are converted to goals at just a 4% across the league). Given his penchant for the long range effort, not to mention the very nature of his game, Taarabt is always likely to be a somewhat unpredictable asset, but since Redknapp's arrival we have at least seen the apparent elimination of his rotation and positional risk, thus making him a much safer option with substantial upside. Indeed, with Fellaini and Michu's price rises, there maybe no mid range midfielder with greater price/upside combination (perhaps Puncheon too).
Status: Buy, though consider if you want to wait until after he gets his 5th yellow card
Wes Hoolahan 13
This is one of those classic games where the underlying stats don't support the big points haul, and thus, for this week anyway, we need to douse that fire. Now, in fairness to Hoolahan he has put up some reasonable stats in the past and thus he isn't without any hope, though for 5.5m you'd probably want either a high floor of his production or a much higher ceiling.
Status: Sell
Robin Van Persie 12
Nothing really to add here as Van Persie enjoyed another very good game and end results. Given that I am now contractual obliged to compare him to Rooney every week, it's notable that they essentially had the same same in terms of key stats and thus the pair remain fairly close in the model's forecasts.
Status: Buy, though as always consider the opportunity cost of the massive investment required to bring him in
Anthony Pilkington 11
I'd be much happier backing Pilkington than teammate Hoolahan as he's put up decent xG scored in six of the last eight games (though doesn't offer much by way of assist potential). His home/away splits are about as wide as you're going to see and a quick glance at the average position charts does show a consistent tendency to play slightly further upfield at Carrow Road. I'm not sure that supports such vast splits as we've observed to date, but either way, at 5.7m you can probably afford to only really deploy Pilkington at home and thus his prospects look very promising. The issue I have are the opponents in those home games, as Norwich welcome CHE, MCI, NEW, TOT, FUL and EVE in the next six, none of which look like easy pickings. Though he, and Norwich, are good enough to do okay in some of those games, if you're playing the odds you'd probably venture that his successful home run to date is likely to slow down somewhat.
Status: Hold, but those fixtures make it hard to recommend buying him
Yaya Toure 10
One might like to suggest that Yaya is 'back' and that his goals are what City needs to drive them on to another title bid. Well, you're free to make those suggestions, indeed in theory it's a nice narrative but in terms of forecastable production it's way off the mark. Yaya has just played two of his worst statistical performances of the season, racking up just two shots and zero chances created, while taking up a fairly deep role, particularly this week. It's tempting to try and get access to this City side but I don't believe Yaya is the man to fill that role and you'd be better off taking the odd rotation with Tevez, Aguero or Silva than backing an overly defensive Yaya.
Status: Sell
Brett Holman 9
Holman offers some goal and assist value to the point where we might be interested at, say, 4.5m but for 5.5m he offers neither the consistency nor the upside we desire.
Status: Sell
Javi Garcia 9
The only plus for Garcia is his player dashboard which is amusingly bad.
Status: Sell
Tom Cleverley 9
I want to like Cleverley, in a desperate attempt to back someone from this United side that doesn't cost 11.0m but the stats just aren't there, even if we were sure he'd play every week (which we're not).
Status: Sell
Steven Gerrard 9
As with several players highlighted this week, it's not that Gerrard is without charm, it's just that for his price tag we need to see more, a lot more in his case. xG scores of 0.2, while consistently delivered are not going to get it done for a 9.0m+ player (an xG of 0.2 suggests he'll score every five games or so, giving him between three and four goals the rest of the way. We can get double that forecast rate of return from Jason Puncheon who costs over 4.0m less). Gerrard has sufficient talent and pedigree to spark our collective interest when things go well but it appears that those games will be too few and far between to ever justify his price tag, and barring some kind of miracle turnaround during the transfer window, his days as a fantasy asset might be over until his price is cut to match the reality of the situation.
Status: Sell
Theo Walcott 8
My interest is piqued but I don't believe we're there yet with Walcott. His xG and xA numbers are still uninspiring, while his G/SoT% is still astronomically high. Perhaps he'll get more games up front as requested, but I don't believe Wenger will compromise his entire plan to appease Walcott's complaints and thus he's going to have to share time with Giroud and the myriad of wide options which makes that price tag look too rich for my taste.
Status: Monitor
Kenwyne Jones 7
Jones is a good enough player to offer some usability in the league, and at 5.0m he would be an interesting player if we felt he'd play every week. Alas, I very much do not and expect Crouch to be reinstated sooner rather than later.
Status: Sell, or possibly monitor if you're desperate for a new budget forward to emerge.
Andreas Weimann 7
I actually quite like Weimann and he's another budget forward I would consider if everything fell into place. However, with Bent and Agbonlahor set to return from injury at some point (perhaps as early as this week for Agbonlahor) and Benteke looking undroppable, it's tough to categorise Weimann's minutes as anything but risky.
Status: Sell
Wayne Rooney 7
His underlying stats actually exceeded his points return and my personal fears of his ability to play alongside Cleverley (who has stepped into his advanced position at times) were eased. I see no reason why he can't hang with van Persie and the other elite forwards and, as several readers have speculated, there's a reasonable case to be made for doubling up on the United pair as their success hardly seems to be mutually exclusive.
Status: Buy
Alejandro Faurlin 7
Faurlin is a useful player, and perhaps his role will solidify and improve under Redknapp but we've really seen nothing to date other than this week's five created chances to suggest he will offer anything in fantasy value and thus it's impossible to put him alongside the likes of Puncheon, who comes with the same price tag.
Status: Sell
Mladen Petric 6
Petric has some great underlying stats considering his playing time, with his home form being particularly encouraging. That said, I wouldn't expect Berbatov to be dropped with any regularity and then Fulham have Rodallega who is likely a better partner for the Bulgarian, not to mention Ruiz, who should return early in the new year. If his situation changes Petric might offer some value, but right now he's a good prospect in a bad position.
Status: Sell
Demba Ba 6
With Ba's last seven goals coming against, at best, mid level teams, it was good to see him net in one of his tougher fixtures. With @MUN, @ARS, EVE and @NOR to come in the next five weeks, I'm still a little hesitant to fully endorse Ba to continue at his current rate of return, but if this week's goal taught us anything, he doesn't need to be sold and his owners should feel comfortable addressing other areas of their team if needed.
Status: Hold given the fixtures with some thought paid to other options if you've transfers to spare
Shaun Maloney 6
Maloney is an really good player but without regular playing time you simply can't exist as a fantasy asset. Perhaps this goal will help him recapture his spot, but until we know for sure, I'm out.
Status: Monitor
Ashley Young 6
I was a little surprised to see that Young has started every game but one since returning to the lineup in GW9 and his assist potential has been pretty good in most games during that spell. For his price you'd ideally like to see more of a goal threat though and his profile looks a bit too similar for Pienaar (who costs 1.7m less) to get overly excited about. If you're fairly flush with cash, Young is a useful addition who should add his fair share of 5-6 point games with the odd double digit effort, but if you're looking for value, you'll probably want to go elsewhere.
Status: Buy if you have deep pockets but I'd like to see more of a goal threat before getting involved
David Silva 6 Silva is another player I'd like to get behind but his zero xG this week marked the second time in three weeks he's failed to register a singe shot on goal. His assist potential remains as good as anyone but without at least a handful of goals to supplement that production, he again starts to look like a slightly better version of Pienaar (or A.Young) rather than a truly elite option. He has shown an ability to generate goals though and after big games against Fulham (five shots), Villa (three) and Man Utd (three), we know he has the potential there to succeed. I thought perhaps that Silva's lack of playing time in the middle behind a lone front man might be the issue, but Mancini went with two forwards in all three of those games so there's more to it than that. Silva is too good a player to simply write off and City have still plenty of room to improve, but at the moment he's accounting for a smallish piece of a medium sized pie and to justify his price tag he really needs to either up his share or City need to increase their total output.
Status: Monitor
Jack Wilshere 1
With zero assists or clean sheets to date, Wilshere's hardly a player that fantasy managers will be clamoring to buy this week, but there is something here to at least look at. Wilshere often gets involved in Arsenal's attacks and brings a very good assist potential for a player of his price. I'm not sure the goals will come with any regularity, but good assist numbers with the odd goal makes him a potential alternative to other one category players like Pienaar or Nolan.
Status: Too soon to invest yet, but his talent makes him worth monitoring
Carlos Tevez 2
I had some questions about his playing time (which aren't fully subsided yet) but Tevez continues to do well and put up another good xG score this week. To date he's put up better xG than Aguero and given his price tag, he obviously remains a worthy asset. Of the two, I favor Aguero given what I perceive to be a greater upside along with his considerably lower ownership, though if you're out in front in your own leagues, those factors may be less attractive to you and thus the cost saving might be worth it.
Status: Buy
Emmanuel Adebayor 2
Villas Boas is apparently quite pleased with the progress of the 4-4-2, which would certainly make Adebayor a more attractive option for the second half of the season. We don't have too much to go on yet so he remains a speculative play at best, but with the some of the shine coming off players like Berbatov and Jelavic, Adebayor should at least be sliding onto our watchlist.
Status: Monitor
Jonjo Shelvey 1
Shelvey delivered some promising stats this week in just 45 minutes and has done okay when played this year, sometimes in a quite advanced role. However, you have to feel that Liverpool are going to strengthen in the transfer window and with other options already available I don't see Shelvey's minutes being consistent enough to justify his purchase.
Status: Sell
Djibril Cisse 2
A big game here for Cisse was unfortunately not rewarded with any points but if he continues to deliver shots on this level, the goals are sure to follow soon. With Mackie pushed out wide and a number of other forwards injured, Cisse might have a free ride to a consistent role up front and thus deserves fantasy consideration. While it's tough to put him ahead of others in his price range like Benteke, Lambert or Kone, his goal potential is unquestionable, especially if his G/SoT regresses in the coming weeks. QPR's fixtures are solid rather than spectacular but given Cisse's 1.1% ownership, he's certainly worth a look.
Status: Monitor, or a very speculative buy
Luis Suarez 1
We know that Suarez sometimes has difficulty converting his shots at a league average rate, so we'd expect him to underperform his xG, but if he keeps churning out seven shot games I have no doubt the fantasy points will continue to flow.
Status: Buy

5 Reusable Products That Will Save You Money & More
More and more, people are starting to realize the self-serving benefits of "going green". While saving the planet is always a worthwhile goal, it doesn't hurt that moving to eco-friendly products can actually save you money, and even time, in the long run.
Quit paying for plastic bottled water. Not only does it add the extra strain of non-biodegradable plastic to the environment, but it's an expensive habit that adds up quickly.
And while you're intentions may be to get healthy by choosing water over sugary beverages, you might be surprised to learn that your bottled water has an ingredients list that include a variety of chemicals and "natural additives". These additives are said to enhance taste, however some argue that they actually make you thirstier, while compromising your health.
By investing in a quality, non-toxic water bottle, you can save your money by filling it up at home or at work, and never have to pitch another $2 plastic water bottle in the recycling bin again.
Food Containers
Sure, you could keep going to the store to purchase an unending supply of plastic baggies and wrap to pack you lunch at home. Or maybe you get fed up quickly with the scattered packing routine, and end up going out for lunch more than you should be.
Both of these habits add up, and wind up costing you money and time spent scrambling between stores and restaurants. What could you do with the extra savings from home-packed lunches in a durable reusable food container? What would you do with the extra time at lunch that wasn't spent finding a restaurant and waiting to order and receive food?
Feminine Products
I'm sure every woman out there would happily ditch tampons and pads if we could.
As much as we all love going to the store to restock our bathroom cupboards with costly feminine products once a month, it's a habit that more of us are disposing of in favour of something healthier, easier, and less expensive in the long run.
Menstrual cups have a lot of positives beyond just saving you money by being reusable. They can save you time by holding more than tampons, and needing less trips to the bathroom as they can be left in for 12 hours at a time. They're also safer, as they don't use all the chemicals of traditional feminine care.
Cloth Diapers
Babies go through a ton of diapers. At the beginning you may be using an average of 8 or so little diapers, and this cost quickly starts to add up. Even if you're not interested in saving landfill waste, or cutting down on the amount of chemical toxins your babe is exposed to, the cumulative cost of keeping your little ones in diapers for years just might be motivation to opt for cloth.
Reusable cloth diapers of today are a huge improvement from those of generations past, and you might be thrilled to find the beautiful colours and adorable patterns of these easy-to-use, easy-to-wash eco-friendly diapers are yet another reason to choose cloth.
Not sure where to find the best cloth diapers? Find great deals on these and more eco-friendly baby products here.
Dryer Balls
Dryer sheets are becoming a thing of the past for health- and eco-conscious consumers. Why pop a chemical-laden sheet, known to cause irritations in many, into your dryer when you could use the natural power of wool to soften your clothes, cut down on static, and even reduce drying time?
While you might feel like buying reusable products is too expensive for you, when you consider the savings that are to be had in the long run, you will quickly realize that these products are an investment, and will save you money (and more) in the long run.
At The Ninety Ninth Monkey we pride ourselves on offering eco-friendly and life-friendly solutions to your everyday needs. Can't find the above-mentioned products on our online shop?

Communications should be at the heart of decision making
Communications should be at the heart of decision making.
My first exposure to local government was reporting council meetings as a cadet journalist in country Victoria during the 1980s. A lot has changed in newspapers and municipal governance since then.
Journalists don't use typewriters any more and digital cameras have made darkrooms redundant.
Since those early days, my career has taken me to various roles in media, state and territory ministerial offices and corporate communications.
A key learning I've drawn from those experiences is the importance of involving the "comms guy" (or girl) at the highest level of an organisation.
There should be a direct report to the CEO and decision makers.
In state governments, effective ministerial advisers are able to politely cut through red tape and reach senior bureaucrats to ensure policy and operational outcomes are sensitive to public opinion and don't have unintended consequences.
At the federal level there are geographical and systemic hurdles to overcome. The Commonwealth public service is also notoriously moribund.
In Canberra, I became aware of communications officers who spent several hours crafting a Twitter or Facebook post, and then had to wait up to 24 hours for departmental approval, only to have it vetoed by a minister's office.
It made me realise the ABC program Utopia is actually a documentary.
Local government communications
Local government should be much more agile, although I've observed in the past this isn't always the case.
Communications and media staff should give a community perspective to operational matters. They should be like political advisers in a Minister's office, sensitive to potential negative events that could damage a council's reputation.
For example, a media enquiry to Bundaberg Regional Council involved the issuing of a compliance notice to the owner of a cockatoo, which was being kept contrary to a local law.
The bird was a companion to disabled children and there were no complaints from immediate neighbours. All the ingredients were there for this to be an extremely negative story for council.
Instead of giving media an officious regulatory response, communications staff worked across the organisation to compile a more compassionate message, highlighting the bird owner's right to comply within a reasonable timeframe, which was at council's discretion.
If my position didn't interact directly with the Mayor and CEO it would have been much harder to achieve that outcome.
A recent restructure by Bundaberg CEO Steve Johnston means the position I now hold is part of the Executive Leadership Team and has broader management responsibilities.
It's a good model which means that communications is at the heart of decision making.

Students living within reasonable distance of the school are encouraged to return home for lunch where feasible.
Lunchroom aides are hired to supervise and are on duty throughout the lunch break. These aides are agents of the Board and have the same authority as a supervising teacher. Students are provided with time to eat their lunch and clean up their eating area. All students then go outside and are expected to remain on the school grounds.
Application for a supervised lunch program can be made by completing a Sakaw Lunch Registration Form which will be sent home with students. Details regarding payment are available on the lunch registration form. The fees are used to pay the salaries of the supervisors and any other expenses incurred (eg. paper towels, games for noon hour use).
If fees for lunchtime supervision have not been paid when due, the supervision service can be suspended. Parents will be required to make alternate arrangements for supervision until outstanding fees are paid in full.
Lunch privileges for any student may be cancelled if the student's behavior during the lunch break is not acceptable.

YouTube's Vevo Music Service Going Live Dec. 8
Music service Vevo will launch on December 8, the site announced in a Wednesday e-mail.
"We've been working night and day for months to bring you the best music video and entertainment experience we can dream up, and in just about three weeks you can see it online for yourself," Vevo said.
Vevo is a music service from YouTube, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, and AT&T.
Plans for Vevo were first announced in April. YouTube described Vevo as a "premium online music video hub" that will be powered by YouTube's video technology. Users can access the content via Vevo.com or through a new Vevo YouTube channel, which will include a Vevo-branded embedded player.
Sony Music Entertainment joined the venture in June, and AT&T signed on in October. Abu Dhabi Media Company also joined as a founding shareholders that same month, contributing a reported $300 million.
The service will go live in coordination with a launch event in New York, Vevo said.

About the Park
Moberly Lake Provincial Park is situated on the southern shore of Moberly Lake which is located on the boundary between the Rocky Mountain foothills to the west and the Peace plateau to the east. The park is located a short distance north of Chetwynd, BC. View the area map and be sure to take a look at the photo gallery.
The lake itself lies in a broad shallow valley of the Moberly River, about 96 km from its junction with the Peace River. Enjoy a leisurely stroll along the lakeshore and pull up a bench to watch the sunset. Stop and visit the park's interpretation kiosk to learn about the local flora, fauna and history. While you are there, take time to listen to the loons or look overhead for bald eagles. Head down to the lake for a swim or to test your luck fishing for northern pike, bull trout, lake trout and lake whitefish.
Picnic Shelter: The picnic shelter in the day-use available for registration at this campground. To reserve the picnic shelter, please email email@example.com with the park, date, estimated number of people, type of function, and contact person with contact information.
*Note* Alcohol is not allowed in the picnic shelter and surrounding public areas.
Moberly Provincial Park is covered with a fairly dense stand of white spruce interspersed with trembling aspen and balsam poplar. Large cottonwoods occupy much of the low-lying areas. Shrubs common to the park include wild sasparilla, prickly rose, black twinberry, currant, highbush cranberry, twinflower and dwarf red blackberry.
Moose and black bear are the only large animals that frequent the park. Smaller mammals like the red squirrel, snowshoe hare, muskrat and beaver are more likely to be seen. More than 25 species of birds including the common loon, bald eagle, American kestrel, spotted sandpiper, herring gull and belted kingfisher have been recorded in the park.
Moberly Lake and the Peace River district are very special areas for songbirds. The black-capped chickadee, Tennessee warbler, red-eyed vireo, red-winged blackbird, Wilson's warbler, white crowned sparrow, purple finch, dark-eyed junco, American robin, Swainson's thrush, yellow warbler and American redstart are just some songbirds can often be seen flitting among the willow and red-oiser dogwood that grown along the shores of the lake.
Moberly Lake is a productive lake for northern pike, bull trout, arctic grayling, lake whitefish, lake and mountain whitefish, longnose sucker and white sucker. Please comply with all fishing regulations to help protect some of BC's unique species.

Forum: On DIY disc-bound covers (with links)
I made something the other day that y'all might be interested in. It was a stiff cover for a circa/rolla notebook.
It actually started life as one of those brown/gray pressed-paper pieces that's used as packing materials. This one was keeping some refrigerator display stickers flat, and had been shrinkwrapped for years. I tossed the stickers and the wrap and grabbed it, thinking it would be good for a notebook cover. Anyway, you get the same kind of thing on the back of gummed legal pads, but they do come in varying thicknesses.
This particular bit of board was too thick to fit into my 5-lb rolla punch, but I hacked it a little to make it fit. This is the important bit.
Cut the board to the proper size, then take a ruler and Xacto knife and slice partway through the board one half inch from the edge you intend to punch. Peel away the layers of paper until you have something thin enough to fit into the punch with a little bit of room to spare. It takes a little time to do this, since the paper comes away in small pieces and you need a pretty consistent thickness down the entire length. The Xacto is good for trimming away the bits and pieces. Anyway, once you have the strip thin enough (leaving the rest of the board full thickness), move on to the next step.
Now, take your thinnest, most beautiful paper and cut it a little more than twice as big as your cover piece. Carefully glue this onto the board (I used ordinary glue stick so there'd be no bubbles or warping). I made mine so the 'fold' goes over the edge you touch when you're opening the book. Glue the front down first and fold all the edges except the really big flap, trim up the corners at a nice 45 degree angle, and glue those skinny flaps down. Then bring the big flap over and fold the excess under so you have a neat fit. Glue the folded bits to the big flap, then glue the big flap to the board.
When dry, punch. If you haven't left enough room, you'll have to cut the nice paper back off--if you have to, do it on the inside of the cover, where you won't see it much.
Getting the discs in could be dicey--be very gentle so you don't bend the tabs. If you go slow, one side of the smurf at a time, you'll get the discs in without problems.
I made a front and back cover using this method and I am extremely pleased with the stiffness and beauty. Covering the sliced up bit of board with the pretty paper actually adds strength to that area.
I know visualizing this is tough, but if you get a scrap piece of paperboard and try it out, I think you'll see what's going on.
Update: Here's a link to the pics of the finished book.

It's not a proper post if you don't include pics or links to them. ;-) Show us the goods! ;-)
Only afters
I can get an after pic, but I didn't take any during the process. When the sun comes up I'll take a few.
good enough for me!
I suspect that will satisfy. ;-)
Do it again, of course
and have the camera handy !
Just teasing. Sounds great.

ooo, pretty!
I caught your flickr post in my email, and immediately had to check out the pics. You done very well! Quite impressive! Now, I just need to find some of that cardstock and fancy paper myself! I seem to remember this method being discussed long ago. I'm glad you tried it. You've given us something to attain for! :-)
The true spirit of D*I*Y
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this. The detailed instructions were interesting and helpful. I enjoyed looking at your other creations on flickr as well. Now to kick my own cardboard covers up a notch...
Beautiful! I love the
Beautiful! I love the colors.
Jotter 3x5 card holder
Kristina, can you share how you made the 3x5 card holder you have on your flickr photostream? Where did you get the clear plastic material, and how did you get such crisp folds?
I made some covers for my circa using the stiff cardboard backing from some legal pads. The cardboard was too thick to fit in my circa punch, so I got some heavy cardstock that would fit in the punch, reinforced the edge with clear packaging tape, Punched it, then taped the cardboard cover to the cardstock. I never bothered to cover it with some nicer looking paper, but I'll try that when I find something nice to cover it with.
second the request for jotter details
What was your materials source ?
Did you do anything special to do the fold/bend ? (heat or something)
Looks great.
"I think the surest sign that there is intelligent life out there in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us." (Calvin and Hobbes/Bill Waterson)
I think I posted about the jotter before, but I'm too tired to find it right now.
The plastic is clear rigid vinyl, transparent, with glossy finish on both sides. It's .015" thick. I got it from a local plastic supplier.
The folding was done by using an industrial sealer (one of the long, skinny kind with a hinge at one end). That is to say, cut the piece out in the shape you want, then everywhere you want to fold, use the sealer to heat the flat plastic, and while it's still hot, fold it and hold it until it cools. It will then hold its shape.
It's a little tricky, but it's the only way to get the plastic to fold and stay folded without the white line that some plastics get when you bend them.
jotter trial
Thanks for the tip, gave it a trial run with my seal a meal. worked ok, I just have to do a bit of practice to get it to fold exactly where I want to. Have to work fast though, it cools very quickly after you heat it.
Yah, the impact sealer makes it easier to tell exactly where the heating is going to happen. My food sealer also doesn't allow the same flexibility of positioning--the impact sealer allows an unlimited size to the left and right, whereas the food sealer has a limitation on one side.
The impact sealer also has a temperature dial so you can get exactly the heat level you need for a good heating without melting.
Yes, you have to fold very fast, so you have to have a good plan before you begin.
I did this once
I did this once also using some GREAT paper from a scrapbooking kit. I even used the glue stick, but I glued the paper to a 2 pocket folder (like the ones we used to get for school). The folder was cut along the spine to provide the stiff backing for the front and back covers. The folder had a glossy finish, and I suspect that's why my paper peeled off after about 2 months. I grew tired of re-pasting so I finally splurged for the levenger book cloth covers (with the elastic band to keep everything closed and tidy). Perhaps I'll try again sometime. I like the idea of making my own covers, then I can change them as I change my mood!
Elastic bands
You can buy the elastic by the yard at local frabric stores. I buy about 3 yards at a time so that I can make notebooks on a whim. When using thin cardboard or plastic, I can use a good hole punch to make a hole and slip the elastic through. When using some thicker cardboard, I will use a knife or letter opener and jab a hole through. Sometimes I use those fancy schmancy scrapbooking eyelets to slip through the hole and attach the elastic band. Sometimes I just use hockey stick grip tape. It all depends on the coverstock I'm using and my mood.
Hi, I did a similar thing
I did a similar thing for both of my rollabind books (one for university notes, one for my diary) If you find the layers of the cardboard start coming apart and weakening, allow a small amount of superglue to soak into the frayed bit of board. Works like a charm and gives you a really strong pair of tabs for gripping the rings.
Best Wishes,
Excellent idea.
Thanks for the tip, superglue is a great idea. I expect the thin stuff would work really well, being kind of runny. The gel might not soak in as nicely.
So far my books are holding up nicely. I did make another, a letter size set in black using book board I found in the scrapbooking section of Hobby Lobby. It was a multipack, two 4x6 pieces, two 8.5x11 pieces, and two 12x12 pieces for about $3.50. I made a letter size book and a couple of 4x6 books for my kids, and I have one 12x12 sheet left over for future use. I paid about $5 for the sheet of black marble paper I used on the letter size book, and used up the whole piece. Another bit of small change for the glue stick to hold it together.
It's a very inexpensive way to make a nice hard-back book. These are stiff enough that writing in my lap is no trouble at all, which is what I really wanted from them.

I had a lovely day of hanging out with my lifetime best friend and being crafty.
BEADS EVERYWHERE!!! i actually didn't spill them for once! weird.
i did however remind myself why i rarely will make jewelry using thread with beads instead of wire. ITS A PAIN! and it takes forever! i did make a really pretty necklace tho. id post a pic, but i forgot to take one.
it may find its way to etsy someday… if i ever get around to actually putting that store together…. someday i'll use that account. otherwise, a fairly uneventful day. i really enjoyed it.
i thought about my blog today… perhaps some more background is appropriate…. considering i have little to say about today.
i am currently planning a major road trip… this being said, i've already driven from west virgina to idaho since october. stopping at home in ohio and then working for a month in montana. so since the end of october, i have traveled more that 3000 miles. i'm planning on adding another like 7000miles by march. yeah…. my car, i bought last november with 80,000 miles, it is currently at approximately 98,700 miles. oh and i spent over a month in puerto rico last year, as well as just not really driving for 2 months.
yeah, my dog and i, we get around a bit. you would think that after all this, saying, "lets go for a ride" would make her run the other way… but every time, she gets all excited and starts jumping around, and when you open the car door, you can't keep her out. Shelby is an excellent road trip dog!
|Road tripping with my dog, always looking for new adventures!
ANYWAY…. my road trip will be after Christmas, leaving Boise and (if i can swing it financially) hitting theTahoe area for some snowboarding and winter whitewater boating…
Absolutely aiming to be in the SLC viscinity for new years eve to visit my sister and a bunch of other awesome people for a few days on a hoity tioty type mountain where i'm going to have to get on skis for the first time in over a decade… i'm sure that will be fun to watch! yes i will post pics!
after Utah, i'm heading east a lilbit to Colorado to bounce around the state and visit some of my favorite snow bums and hopefully do some snowboarding with most of them!
After that I'm headed to LA to visit more lovely people who i haven't seen in nigh forever… then picking up a good buddy and heading east.
The plan so far after that…is to camp a night on the rim of the grand canyon, visit friends in texas, hit up nola… stop in myrtle beach to see my sister and niece then dropping my bud off in DC for school…
after that… who knows!?
IF i can afford it, i'd absolutely love to add Boston into the mix as well as visiting the other half of my brain, and soon to be best selling fantasy author (her first novel to be published later this month) in Canada before heading home to hang with the fam and work for my dad for a few weeks before heading back to the Cheat Canyon in mid to late march.
i googled the loop, starting with home, entering all of the specific stops i'd like to make, including the maybes (tahoe, boston, cananda) and it comes to approx 10,166 miles. roughly 8.5 days of driving alone. yeah, i think i this may fulfill my goal of big roadtrip… might even satiate the wanderlust for a bit…. maybe… i did afterall get invited to go to Africa for next winter… SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!!!
inicidentally… in case you're wondering how i can possibly afford this…. technically, i cant. but as long as my dog's fed and my car insurance is paid, i'm not gonna worry about that. let this be a lesson to you, saty in school… but if you dont… drop out early so you don't have a ton of debt! ha!
yes, i am aware that im not necessarily a good influence on young people… but you could do worse too.
alright, on that note… i'm going to bed. happy adventures!

The XIX European Aerobatic Championship took place at Matko Airport, Hungary, 90 Km. south of Budapest, from 23 - 30 August 2014. It was organized by the FAI, the Hungarian Aeronautical Association and the Hungarian Aerobatic Club.
A total of 36 pilots from 14 countries participated in the most extreme and demanding aerobatic competition of the year. The best Unlimited pilots of each country had the opportunity to show their aerobatic skills and their training results in front of the most prestigious aerobatic judges in the world. Nick Buckenham as a FAI contest chief judge and his team of judges were the responsible to assess more than 150 flights during the event.
In this edition the weather was pretty fare with only some few windy days therefore putting off some of the flights, but at the end, the four sequences were flown.
|Overall men's podium
An international competition is thrilling in itself and betting for a winner an impossible accurate prediction because anything can happen. But we could say that this edition was one of the most challenging, thrilling and surprising international events in the last few years. The top three ranked pilots were battling and changing their performance technics flight after flight in order to try to get as much points as possible and have more chances to get the title. As usual, the competition flights started with the Known compulsory sequences and it took two days to finish the 36 flights.
Castor Fantoba (Su-26M), who took two years break with his teammates in international competitions, came back with plenty of energy and flew an excellent sequence obtaining the first place with the amazing score of 3614,97 (80,691%). The Russian pilot and former European Champion, Mikhail Mamistov (Su-26M) came in second place with a score of 3561,90 (79,507%). François Levot (Extra 330SC), the current World Champion, finished third with a score of 3523,73 (78,655%).
The Russian pilot defeated both Castor and François in the Free sequence with an average score of 82,352%. The French pilot got the same second place with a score of 81,409% and the Spanish pilot finished in the third place (81,313%).
The Free Unknown was the third flight, a very technical and physical sequence that put pilots' skills and physical conditions to the limit. Le Vot obtained the best score and won the sequence (79,337%). Castor Fantoba followed the French pilot very closely with a sharp difference of 0,157% (79,180%). Mamistov, who changed the aircraft due to mechanical problems in his Sukhoi, finished third with a very good percentage (78,771%).
|Free Unknown 1
The Free Unknown 2 was the last flight of the competition and it would decide the overall champion. The pressure of the top three pilots was at its highest level and any tiny error would reduce the options of becoming the champion. As expected, the three pilots were able to deal with such pressure and performed an incredible demonstration showing why they are the best. All three pilots obtained above 80% of precision in their flights. There was a minimum difference of 0,103% between the first, Le Vot (80,459%) and the third, Fantoba (80,359%). Mamistov finished second with 80,359%.
After computerizing the scores of all the flights, Castor Fantoba was proclaimed European Aerobatic Champion and he got the gold medal for the first time in his career with an overall score of 80,381%. Mikhail Mamistov won the silver medal with a percentage of 80,253% and François Le Vot obtained the bronze medal.
The scores of the three best pilots of each team generated the overall classification of teams.
France was proclaimed European's best aerobatic team, obtaining the gold medal thanks to the scores of François Le Vot, Mikael Brageot and Alexandre Orlowski.
|Team results podium
The Russian Federation got the silver medal with the scores of the highest performers, Mikhail Mamistov, Oleg Shpolianskii and Svetlana Kapanina.
Castor Fantoba, Juan Velarde and Anselmo Gamez won the bronze medal for the Spanish team.
Svetlana Kapanina was proclaimed the Women's Aerobatic Champion after an excellent battle against Aude Lemordant and Elena Klimovich. Once the scores were tallied, Aude took the silver medal and Elena Klimovich, the bronze.
|Women's overall podium
In the "smoke on" modality, Martin Sonka (Extra 330SC) won the 4 minute Freestyle after flying an incredible performance and getting the top score of 84,920%. Olivier Masurel (Extra 330SC) finished second and Alexandre Orlowski, got the bronze.
|Freestyle podium
Snap&Roll had the opportunity to interview the winner of the championship, Castor Fantoba, and that is what he said:
|Castor Fantoba after one of his competition flights
Castor for your first European title… What is your most memorable moment of the Championship?
For me, after my first unknown program flight. It was a really precise and solid flight. Then, Juan told me that Mikhail was going to fly with the Extra instead of his usual Sukhoi. They (the Russian Team) were having mechanical problems with the plane, and Mamistov decided to change. This meant that in order to gain performance with more power, he was going to risk precision. Very difficult to achieve. But he did it. What an impressive flight he did! Also, Francois flew a really good first unknown, so again, we were in the same situation as before, and with a final program to fly. Lots of stress, very good flights, competition outcome was undefined -anything could happen… And I was still ahead, with only a tiny advantage in points. All this made that moment very very special.
What was the atmosphere during the competition?
It was really good in terms of relationship with the other competitors. We received lots of congratulations from pilots, Teams and CIVA Officials for being back again and competing as a National Team. And, as to be expected, the competition was really intense, because due to minimal difference in points between Francois, Mikhail and me, every flight was like a "Final". I must admit that the stress reached "extreme" levels sometimes. Its where you really notice the power of a strong team, our team is incredibly close and support is absolute between all of us, its a great competitive advantage.
How did you prepare yourself for the European Championship?
This year the technical training schedule was in essence, very similar to last years: three training camps of some 10 days, and a short - but very intense - one in the run up to the EAC. With regard to physical preparation and training, I do my best with programme of weights and cardio when I am working abroad with the airline, and my trainer in Madrid makes the "final touches" to the overall progress, when I am home.
Who has been your biggest supporter? And your inspiration?
My biggest supporter is my wife, Alejandra. Without her, none of this could have happened. Equally, Nikolai Nikitiuk, our trainer, always confident and giving us the absolute best of himself, and my friends and team-mates: Juan and Anselmo. Success, in my experience is mostly thanks to teamwork, cooperation and constance.
Inspiration?. Well, Vytas is always there. When I received the big medal, my first thoughts were for him.
|Castor Fantoba taking off to fly his sequence
How does it feel when your opponents are pushing so hard?
It is difficult to maintain concentration, stay focussed on the right things. You can loose lots of energy thinking about the possibilities, how to proceed, if you must change tactics, the variables, the "ifs" the "buts" the "maybe's". In this, Nikolai is of great help. He was always, clear and confident. After my Free program, I was really disappointed, because I was not flying strongly enough, and Mikhail and Francois' flights were superb. He came and said to me with a smile: "...you don't decide, the judges must score the flight first. Not so bad." And he was right, third position and still on the top of the classification, amazing!. This really helps.
As a member of the Spanish team, that won the bronze team medal, is there anything that you would like the readers to know?
Well, I would like to highlight the huge success of Juan and Anselmo at this Championship. Juan finished 8th in the Overall, which means that he is in the group of the top pilots. He flew very well, demonstrating that he is one of the best. The Judges are now going to be eagerly waiting to see his flights. With these results, Anselmo shouldered all the responsibility of getting a good score to get the Team the Bronze medal, and I can tell you that this is really really difficult. He was strongly penalized in the first flight due to being one of the first pilots flying, but his resilience, and mind-set to fight right the very end paid off. His last flight was really the flight that gave us the Team Bronze Medal, getting his best personal score ever in an international competition. What a way to finish!!
And of course, one of the main reasons for our very successful return to international competition, and as one of the strongest teams in the world, as proven by this championship, is Repsol, who has been supporting all the way, waiting for this moment, so my most sincere gratitude to them.

Hunter Hayes has taken the US by storm, and at the age of just 23 has already racked up 5 Grammy nominations, 3 Teen Choice awards, stacked up over 207 million Spotify streams, and over 150 million YouTube views. He was also the 2015 People's Choice Award winner, and Hunter is now currently on his first UK tour.
It was during his debut show that he announced details of his first UK album 'I Want Crazy' to be released in May 2015. The track listing includes his 2 hits that have already been released in the UK called 'Tattoo' and 'Light Me Up'. Other hits such as 'Wanted' which went 4x platinum, and 'I Want Crazy', which has also gone 2x platinum, are included.
Hunter Hayes is an American singer and songwriter, and the album is nothing short of some nifty guitar work, but he can actually play over 30 instruments, so that's just the beginning. He has co-written all of the tracks, and plays every instrument, as well as singing all the vocals.
I Want Crazy will only be released in the UK, but is made up of tracks from his 2 studio albums 'Encore' and 'Storyline'. 'Everybody's Got Somebody But Me' features Jason Mraz, and stands out as being the toe tapper, and with such soulful vocals and happy plucking, it showcases his talents perfectly. The idea behind putting a release together as a compilation of his current albums has clearly been the mastermind behind Hunter claiming his stake over this side of the pond, and with a sold out UK tour, this fresh faced country singer is well on his way.

Use the player below to listen to the full recording of Larry Josephson's monologue "An Inconvenient Jew : my life in radio" performed live at the Cornelia Street Cafe in New York City on January 23, 2012.
Larry Josephson has been making trouble on the radio since 1966, starting as WBAI's infamous grumpy morning man. The competition, John Gambling and his ilk, were pushing oleaginous treacle on morning radio. Larry broke all the rules of radio: he ate his breakfast on the air, insulted listeners at a time when Howard Stern was crawling around Levittown in leather diapers. He told the story of his life on the radio, or as much as the FCC and the libel laws would allow.
Larry's program, In The Beginning (1966-72) became the morning switchboard of the "revolution." He never prepared, just opened the mic and talked, connecting his id and his heart directly to the transmitter. Larry read from the Times over the music of his favorite composers, Ravi Shankar and John Philip Sousa; took calls from students telling tales out of school; announced demonstrations, sometimes mocking causes dear to his lefty listeners. Katie, a four-year-old going on 40, and Lisa, age 14, called in every morning to tell Larry what was happening in their lives.
Larry will explain how a nice Jewish boy from 1950's Los Angeles became a nonconformist, an intellectual juvenile dilenquent. "I owe everything to Dwight David Eisenhower, who gave his name to an era of smug self-satisfaction and conformity. "I worked against that zeitgeist," said Josephson. "When I graduated from Junior High School, the principal handed me my diploma and said, 'Good luck, Josephson, you'll need it.' "
"After five years of math and physics at Berkeley, I knew almost nothing about life, the life of the mind, or sex (I was a virgin when I walked into WBAI). During the six years the program lasted, I got a real education in politics, literature, music, love, death and sex–and the dark side of the left. I've seen the left with its pants down. Not a pretty sight."
The program came to an abrupt end when an infant daughter he had with his first wife, died. "I was too grief stricken to continue doing confessional radio." The marriage died with the baby. Larry returned to radio after a year of academic rehab in Berkeley. Sixteen years after he entered as a freshman Larry finally graduated with a degree in Linguistics. Governor Ronald Reagan conferred the title "punning linguist" on Larry at a special ceremony held in the third subbasement of Sproul Hall.
Larry Josephson's debut monologue is dedicated to the memory of his dear friend, mentor and model, Spalding Gray.

Look after yourself this International Self-Care Day – 24 July (24/7)
- July 24th, 2017
- mixono@SMASA
- News
- 0 Comments
Non-communicable diseases like heart disease, stroke, and lung disease are some of the world's leading causes of death (World Health Organisation, 2017). But did you know that as many as 80% of these deaths could be prevented through better self-care (SMASA, 2016)?
Looking after your health isn't only a way to avoid dying prematurely; it also adds to your quality of life.
International Self-Care Day
International Self-Care Day is a worldwide initiative that takes place on 24 July (24/7) every year as a reminder that the benefits of and commitment to self-care is lifelong, and should be experienced 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or 24/7. The global theme for International Self-Care Day this year is 'Get better with Self-Care. In South Africa, the day is promoted by the Self-Medication Manufacturers Association of South Africa (SMASA) – the leading advocates of responsible self-care and self-medication (Self-Care 24/7, 2016).
Nicola Brink, Executive Director of SMASA, says, "South Africans must be encouraged to take care of themselves holistically, because self-care is all-encompassing. It includes activities that people undertake to improve their health and wellbeing, as well as the knowledge that they obtain and the advice they follow from healthcare professionals."
The 7 pillars of self-care
Improving your own self-care can be difficult – especially if you've practised bad habits like smoking. But good self-care isn't just about not being unhealthy. It's broader than that.
To illustrate the scope of self-care, the International Self-Care Foundation (2017) has divided the concept into seven key pillars. By understanding these, you'll be in a better position to target the areas of self-care most lacking in your life.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines this as "the motivation and ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways to promote and maintain good health" (2017). Health literacy is also about:
- Understanding what determines good health
- Understanding information given by health professionals
- Knowing where to look for health information and how to use it
- Distinguishing good health info from bad
- Being familiar with common diseases, their causes, and how to prevent them
- Grasping the value of health screenings at key life points
- Understanding medicines and vaccines
- Recognising when to seek professional advice
- Understanding indirect influences on health, like food labelling
This pillar has three key elements:
1. Mental wellbeing: Optimism, positive self-esteem, a sense of purpose and belonging, feeling supported, coping with stress, and being productive
2. Self-awareness: Applying your health knowledge and literacy (everything in pillar 1) to your personal circumstances
3. Agency: Your capacity and intention to act on matters regarding your health
Being strong in this pillar means being a balanced, positive, motivated, and functional person, with the capacity to love yourself and others. It also means knowing your:
- Family's medical history
- Vaccination history
- Screening requirements
- Resting heart rate and blood pressure
- Weight, height and body mass index (BMI)
- Cholesterol levels
- Blood glucose level
- Mental and emotional status
- Stress levels and sleeping habits
- Oral health situation
- Day-to-day hygiene practices
- Level of physical activity
- Risk profile, e.g. smoking and drinking
Physical activity is moving your body and using your muscles, and it's essential to good health; significantly reducing your risk of many non-communicable diseases. WHO (2017) states that, "physical inactivity has been identified as the fourth leading risk factor for global mortality, causing an estimated 3.2 million deaths globally." Furthermore, activity improves mood and helps to control weight. Adults aged 18 to 64 should:
- Do at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity per week
- Perform aerobic activity in sessions of at least 10 minutes
- Perform strengthening activities using major muscle groups, 2 or more days a week
Our culture of over-eating and our high-calorie, low-nutrient diets have led to a global obesity epidemic: the primary source of diet-related morbidity (WHO, 2004). WHO recommends:
- Eating as much food as your body needs energetically
- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Eating more fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and nuts
- Limiting your intake of fats
- Eating fewer saturated fats and trans-fatty acids
- Eating fewer simple sugars
- Limiting your salt intake
This means avoiding behaviours that increase your chances of illness or death, by:
- Being vaccinated
- Not smoking
- Practising safe sex
- Drinking in moderation
- Protecting yourself from the sun
- Driving carefully
Hygiene refers to the habits that help maintain your health and prevent the spread of diseases, including drinking sterilised water, washing your hands and body regularly, keeping your living area clean, and brushing your teeth.
This means managing your health with activities, diets, medicines, products, or services. In terms of medicine use, the International Self-Care Foundation (2017) recommends that you:
- Always read the directions provided with your medicine
- Follow the instructions
- Ensure that your pharmacist or doctor explains everything you don't understand
- Call your doctor immediately if you have a serious side effect
- Complete the treatment course
Furthermore, SMASA (2016) recommends that you:
- Keep medication out of reach and sight of children
- Choose a cool, dry storage environment for your medicines
- Keep medicines in their original packaging
- Check the expiry date on every box
- NEVER use expired or altered medicine
- Dispose safely of unused and expired medicine
Your wellbeing is your duty
Taking care of your health isn't a luxury. As a mother, father, daughter, son, brother, sister, colleague, or friend, your wellbeing affects other people too. And that means the welfare of others depends on your looking after yourself.
Don't be another WHO statistic. Look after yourself this International Self-Care Day, and every day after that. We don't call it 24/7 for nothing.

Use your time machine to interact with past versions of yourself in this puzzle/platformer!
You can disable the music in the options menu, or by right-clicking.
IF YOU CAN'T SAVE: Right click on the game, select "settings". Click on the folder, and slide the bar to the right. Flash has a limit to how much data you can store per site, and you guys have been playing too many games on Kong!
Arrows or WASD to move, space bar to lift crates and use your time pod. Each level contains a puzzle that must be solved by interacting with past versions of yourself. The game records your movements. When you use the Time Pod to travel back to the beginning of the level, you see a past version of yourself doing exactly what you did before entering the pod. You can create as many copies of yourself as you need to solve the puzzle, but be careful not to change the past too much. If you interfere with a past self's ability to return to the Time Pod, you cause a PARADOX!

Breakfast Tips to Lose Weight
Everybody wants to maintain a healthy body no matter what age. Some people are self-conscious about their health. They want to look good and healthy. For this, the most important factor is losing your weight quickly. For this purpose you can adopt healthy breakfast on a daily basis. We suggest some breakfast tips to lose weight to give you an idea. Now you can add these to your breakfast and obtain benefits.
Breakfast Tips to Lose Weight
Eat egg yolk (if you don't have problems with triglycerides and cholesterol)
If you only eat the egg white, you're missing one of the main nutrients of the egg, the choline is very rich in vitamins D and B12, two important components for bones and brain. It's great benefit is that you will be satiated longer and eat less between meals.
Put your cup of green tea (with bag) in the microwave
Green tea is rich in catechins, a component that sends the signal fat cells to stop storing fat. To get more benefits you can warm your cup of green tea about 30 seconds in the microwave. A study has shown that heating the green tea bags in the oven is supposed to extract 20% more catechins than when the bag is only immersed in hot water.
Put an apple in your breakfast
If you do it will raise the body's ability to burn fat. Apples are one of the largest natural sources of fiber, a nutrient proven to reduce abdominal fat.
Sprinkle with cinnamon coffee
Cinnamon improves the body's sensitivity to insulin, according to the results of a study published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition. This effect helps transform the calories consumed into energy instead of fat.
Choose the correct protein
And this does not include mutton and chicken containing abundant sodium sulfates, bad for the heart and waist. It's better to stay with eggs, salmon or Greek yogurt.

text: Happy Memorial Day Weekend everyone! This weekend is extra amazing because it also my birthday weekend, woohoo!! I can't wait to celebrate with pool parties, brunch in Meatpacking, clubs at night and my favorite people. I also found a new apartment which is kind of sad because I have to leave the West Village (which is favorite neighborhood in NYC), but oh well the apartment is so worth it. I'm sure I will have lots to tell come Monday…lots.

They are not as bad, imagine doing a very high clapping push up, but instead of clapping you place your hands on the wall.
Well make sure you aren't actually stalling. You're not supposed to old it, or at least not for very long. Its just a quick up down. In fact I don't know how possible it is to old it, because your feet slip back.
oh, it looked like he was stalling against the wall

Day three at Marc Adams
Today at Marc Adams School in my box making class, we began installing hinges, making inlay and I demonstrated the Gifkins jig. All the students are making interesting boxes and some are also making jigs from scrap plywood so they can continue using some of the same techniques when they get home.
