"I have a particle wave ray gun and a bipolar disorder!" - Dr. Will Magnus
Week Forty-Nine
Previously in 52...
The Question and Nightwing found Batwoman and saved Gotham from Intergang, though the cost may have been the Batwoman's life.
This Week's Key Players
Black Adam is in there.
Guest Appearances
The madmen of Oolong Island, the Great Ten, the Justice Society of America, Atom Smasher, Will Magnus, the Metal Men and a few Infinity Inc. punks.
The siege of Oolong Island begins, as the JSA attempts to retrieve Black Adam from the mad scientists that have taken control of him. Unfortunately, the siege is stopped by the Great Ten, who claim Oolong Island as sovereign territory of China. Any further acts of aggression would thus be considered an act of war, and all attempts to retrieve Black Adam would be met with "ultimate" force.
This sparks a note of recognition in Alan Scott, who confronts the Chinese on the fact that Chang Tzu / Egg-fu is actually a member of the Great Ten, and the declaration of war isn't a matter of Black Adam's capture, it's a matter of covering up that allegiance and finishing off Black Adam, who was never supposed to survive the attack of the Four Horsemen.
Let's go inside the island bunker for a moment, where the scientists decide that it's every weirdo for themselves. Will Magnus and his mini-Metal men hold off Chang and do a little damage inside the bunker, only to be stopped (temporarily) by T.O. Morrow. As a bargaining chip, Magnus offers Morrow a way out on board Dr. Sivana's omni-bot, floating out in orbit. Morrow accepts the offer, and he escapes, while Magnus goes back to holding his own against all the crazies, eventually using a "Lead" bullet to take down Chang.
As for Sivana, he decides to make a run for it, taking with him all the research he developed to torture the Adam family members. The only real problem is that he doesn't have the remote teleporter he needs to get to the omni-bot. Hmm, wonder where that could have gotten to? There's little time to figure it out for sure, as the JSA and the Great Ten raid the fortress together, bypassing the shields thanks to a little extra help from Dr. Magnus, with Atom Smasher scooping up Sivana and demanding the location of Black Adam.
Smasher frees Adam, begging to know that Adam wasn't the one who did all that damage in bilaya, that he wasn't the one who killed an entire nation. Adam simply states his need for justice for his family, declaring war as he rockets out of the structure and off into next week.
Meanwhile, the remnants of Infinity Inc. think they're pretty tough, and they decide all they need is a chance to prove to the old men on the JSA that they're ready to be heroes.
Be careful what you wish for.

Justin's Thoughts and Concerns
Crisis Continuity With Brian Eason
Considering the matter of the latest issue of "52" and placing characters and events in context, I came to a conclusion: it might not have been so smart to concentrate on the Metal Men and Black Adam so early on. While writing the history of the JSA would be a product close to my heart, it would be a massive undertaking. Instead, it occurred to me that the history of Albert (Atom Smasher) Rothstein would be more manageable and relevant to the issue at hand.
Albert Rothstein made his first appearance in the pages of "All-Star Squadron" #25 (September, 1983). Albert was the godson of Al Pratt, the Golden Age Atom and the grandson of the supervillain Cyclotron. Albert has the ability to control the molecular structure of his body, allowing him to change his size and density. He is also possessed with superhuman strength. In "Infinity Inc." #1 (March, 1984), Albert followed his godfather, becoming the superhero Nuklon. Albert, along with several other relatives and sidekicks of the Justice Society, formed Infinity Inc., after being tuned down for membership by the JSA. Years later, after the dissolution of Infinity Inc., Albert joined the JSA under the guise of Atom Smasher. The Atom Smasher costume was very similar to that of Al Pratt's original Atom costume.
When Albert's mother was murdered in a plane crash caused by agents of Kobra, Al became obsessed with gaining vengeance against Kobra. Albert, with the help of the New God Metron, traveled back in time and replaced his mother with the supervillain Extant. While Albert succeeded in saving his mother's life, he had willingly murdered the villain.
When Black Adam joined the JSA, he and Albert developed a fast friendship. This new found relationship led Atom Smasher to grow frustrated with the morality he had once embraced. When Kobra blackmailed the US government into releasing him, Black Adam and Atom Smasher quit the JSA. Together the pair set about settling scores for each other. Albert killed the dictator of Black Adam's home country, Khandaq. Black Adam, in turn, killed Kobra. With the elimination of the Khandaqi leadership, Albert led a team of metahumans into the country and overthrew the remaining government. Albert also fought his JSA teammates in Khandaq before an uneasy truce was met. It was decided that Black Adam and his allies could rule Khandaq, if they agreed to never leave the country. Albert remained in Khandaq, but began to wonder at Adam's motives.
Atom Smasher died in battle against the Spectre in "Justice Society of America" #75 (2006). Rothstein perished in "JSA" #75 while fighting against the Spectre, but Adam, calling upon Shazam's lightning, revived Albert. Afterward, Rothstein was tried for his actions in Khandaq. He plead guilty to all charges. During his time in jail, Albert encountered Amanda Waller, founder of Task Force X. As a result, in the pages of "52" Albert was seen assembling a new Suicide Squad for Task Force X and Amanda Waller.
We haven't seen what has become of Atom Smasher in the OYL world. With Damage, the grandson of Al Pratt, in the new Justice Society title, it is possible that Albert will make a return to those pages, but it is even more likely that we will see his return when Steel and his niece Natasha reform Infinity Inc. in September 2007.
Looking Ahead
World. War. Three. Nothing else to worry about right now, though look for some sort of coverage of that event next week, as well as your regular "52" goodness.
Panel of the Week
To hell with the regular Metal Men... The Mini-Metal Men deserve their own book!

"Time Ahead Time is a nice find which is going to please to fans Jean Michel Jarre, Ulrich Schnauss and Loom"

Alien Registration Card Records | ARCR209
(Synth-Pop, E-Rock & IDM)
Maybe that the name tells you nothing! And if do I join the one of Loom? Those of Jerome Froese and Johannes Schmoelling? Hey yes … Robert (Wässer) Waters is the 3rd part, non-unimportant, of Loom. This musician and producer is very active on the Berlin scene from the beginning of 2000's in the genre of electronic synth-pop with numerous arrangements which were worth him a pretty good recognition. It's at that time that he met Johannes Schmoelling, in particular during the reedition of the White Out album in 2000 when he made the remixed version of Icewalk with Ulrich Schnauss. And it's in 2011 that Waters joins the Loom adventure. He signs 2 compositions on the first E.P. 100 001 and we notice an approach which rocks between the electronic rock of Jerome Froese and a more New Age music. Now sailing between heavy techno, electronic rock and a hyper melodic synth-pop, "Time Ahead Time" proposes an EM knitted in the interstices of Loom.
From the outset, I have to tell you that my 1st listens of "Metamorphosis" left me of ice. This title that we heard on Years in Music is a spiral of joyful feelings on an air of French movie where the attractive young lady shows her enjoyment by waltzing dozens circles the smile on the lips. It's kind of a good (we eventually end by liking it) synth electronic pop which does very Jean Michel Jarre, period Metamorphoses (sic!). Heavier and in a Teutonic electro-pop style, "Magicoscope" is very energizing with good nervous sequences and a very harmonious synth. Take note that these 2 titles propose voices, that of Izzy Weissgerber on "Metamorphosis" and an other one non-identified on this title of which the contribution of Jerome on guitar is rather timid. The production is very make with good arrangements which add some drama and intensity as well as structures of rhythm which are quite lively. "Everyone is a King in Solitude" is a superb melody sat on a great sequencing pattern, sober percussions and a roaring bass line. Robert Waters lays down a sentimental depth which inhales the melody of "Metamorphosis", But in a mode more ambient. This title gave the goose-flesh to me by exploiting in a wonderful way its too short five minutes. Splendid! Between the hard E-Rock of the years Jerome Froese in TD and the synth-pop with the starry harmonies of Ulrich Schnauss, "Landscape 3928" is powerful and breaks down our eardrums. There is of quite in there, even a passage of Trance Music! Robert Waters' keyboard seems to be hung on the same harmonious syllable which charms us throughout "Time Ahead Time". It's how "The Future Gods" opens. It's a wild track which switches shapes quite often with good arrangements. Except that it has the defects of its qualities; either a too obvious lack of homogeneity. All the opposite of "Biocommunication" which remains heavy and lively. The effects of stroboscopic voices are a bit pastiche but the sequences are breathtaking. The title-track ends this Robert Waters' 2nd E.P. with effects of cut out voices and gathered in a long movement of stroboscopic voices on a structure of non-rhythm wrapped up in a passage of atmospheres going up in crescendo. Here as all over "Time Ahead Time", the arrangements are splendid, the synth effects and the studio work (mixing, sound effects, mastering, etc. …) are very well make. Showing to all that Robert Waters is not just a guest in Loom. It's beautiful and good! It's done properly and that is going to please certainly the fans of Jarre in his synth-pop era, of Ulrich Schnauss and of Loom.

Ijaz Khan Sindhu Pleads Guilty In U.S. Federal Court
The United States Attorney's Office announced that during a federal court session in Missoula, on February 15, 2013, before U.S. District Judge Dana L. Christensen, IJAZ KHAN SINDHU, a 33-year-old resident of Othello Washington, pled guilty to conspiracy to distribute cocaine. Sentencing has been set for May 24, 2013. He is currently detained.
In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Tara L. Elliott, the government stated it would have proved at trial the following:
On August 23, 2012, a Confidential Informant (CI) was scheduled to purchase cocaine from Shahid Khan and SINDHU in Missoula. Prior to arriving in Montana, Khan and SINDHU were stopped by Idaho police officers and it was later discovered that they had 10 ounces of cocaine in their car.
The CI would have testified that he purchased cocaine from SINDHU on numerous occasions between January and August of 2012, and usually purchased approximately 9 ounces of cocaine at a time. He would have further testified that Khan was with SINDHU on at least 4 or 5 of those occasions and at least once Khan took the money from the CI for the cocaine.
Khan pled guilty to federal charges.
SINDHU faces possible penalties of a mandatory minimum of 5 years and could be sentenced to 40 years, a $5,000,000 fine, and four years supervised release.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Overmarine has launched the first steel and aluminium superyacht from its Long Range line, Mangusta Oceano 42, in a ceremony at its Pisa shipyard.
According to Overmarine, the owner and his family were present at the launch ceremony, along with the local authorities, the mayors of Pisa and Viareggio, and the entire staff at Overmarine. Alberto Mancini, who designed the Mangusta Oceano 42, was also present at the ceremony.
Maurizio Balducci, CEO of Overmarine commented, "Today has been really important for us, as this is the company's very first three deck displacement ship. She is also the first to be built in metal, and the first to be constructed here at our Pisa shipyard.
"Most importantly, however, we are both happy and proud to be able to say that this is the day on which we launched a beautiful ship, with unique features for a unit of this size."
Oceano 42 is the first in Overmarine's Mangusta Open Yacht line, and is described as a beautifully modern and elegant yacht, with a blend of taught sharp lines. Standout features include a swimming pool with an infinity-style waterfall overlooking the bow, and a glazed skylight at the bottom of the swimming pool. On board, she offers accommodation for up to 12 guests and seven crew.
Talking about the sale of Oceano 42 and the future of Overmarine, commercial director Francesco Frediani said, "This sale marks and important step for our shipyard and for our ocean-going vessels line. This is a segment in which we believe we can play a key role and become a leader, as indeed we believe we already are in the Maxi Open segment."

The High Technology Home Care Program, also called the High-Tech Nursing (HTN) Program, is a Vermont Medicaid program that employs a combination of medically necessary technology, supplies, and services. This program is intended to help elderly or disabled Vermont residents whose disabilities or functional ability would otherwise require them to live in a nursing home. Beneficiaries are able to reside in their homes, in the homes of family members or friends, and in some cases, persons living in nursing homes are able to return to living outside these institutions.
Technologies that are typically used by program beneficiaries include, but are not limited to ventilators, feeding tubes, CPAP, and dialysis machines. However, assistance under this program is not limited to medical technology. Skilled nursing care is also available. While personal care assistance and homemaker services are not offered via this program, these services are available via the Choices for Care program, which has consolidated with the Global Commitment (GC) to Health Waiver. Seniors can be dually enrolled in both the High Tech program and Choices for Care via the GC Medicaid Waiver.
The "Hi-Tech Nursing Program" is under the jurisdiction of the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL).
In addition to being financially eligible for Green Mountain Care (Vermont's Medicaid program) applicants must 1) be Vermont state residents 2) 21 years of age or older 3) require skilled nursing care greater than that which is provided via a skilled nursing visit 4) require services more extensive than those offered by a personal care attendant or a home health aid 5) have a primary caregiver that is able to handle the applicant's care needs and can be trained in the operation of apparatus. 6) not be (or be willing to not be) institutionalized 7) be technology dependent.
Financial eligibility changes year to year and depends on whether one lives in Chittenden County or elsewhere in the state (limits are slightly higher in Chittenden). In 2018, the ballpark monthly income limit for the Hi-Tech Program is $1,125 / month. Elsewhere in Vermont, the limit is $1,041. Persons with income that exceeds this level may still qualify through a share of cost method where incomes up to approximately twice the regular limit would be permitted.
Green Mountain Care also considers the applicant's countable assets. Single applicants are permitted up to $2,000 in countable assets, but their home, provided the value of their home equity does not exceed $572,000, is exempt (not counted towards the total). Married applicants, should the spouse not be applying for Medicaid, can have a much higher level of assets. The non-applicant spouse is permitted to hold up to $123,600 in 2018, while the applicant spouse is still able to retain up to $2,000 in resources.
Get assistance to understand these Medicaid eligibility rules and prepare a successful application.
The exact services afforded to Hi-Tech Program participants are determined by their individual needs. These might include:
Vermont's Division of Disability and Aging Services, Department of Disabilities, Aging & Independent Living is responsible for the administration of this program. They offer several ways to contact them to learn more and / or to begin the application process. One can call (802)-241-0294, visit their webpage, or complete an online form.

Regional Reviews: Florida - Southern
Also see John's review of Living Proof
The Lake Worth Playhouse celebrates its 54th season as a Resident Community Playhouse with their production of Pippin. With music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and book by Roger O. Hirson, Pippin is based on the story of the son of Charlemagne. Pippin opened on Broadway in October of 1972 at the Imperial Theatre, running for 1,944 performances. The original cast featured Irene Ryan, Jill Clayburgh, Ann Reinking, John Rubenstein and Ben Vereen. In 1973 Pippin was nominated for a total of eleven Tony Awards, winning five.
Composer Stephen Schwartz, is currently identified with his most recent Broadway success, Wicked. He also wrote the music and lyrics for Godspell, The Baker's Wife, Working, The Magic Show and Children Of Eden. He collaborated with composer Alan Menken on the score for the Disney animated feature Pocahontas, for which he received two Academy Awards and a Grammy. He also provided songs for DreamWorks' first animated feature, The Prince of Egypt and won another Academy Award, for the song "When You Believe." The prolific Roger O. Hirson made his mark writing mostly for episodic TV in a career spanning over 40 years.
Pippin is the story of a band of theatrical players reenacting the fictionalized tale of young Prince Pippin, son of King Charlemagne. With all the privileges of wealth, education and position at his disposal, Pippin desperately searches for the key to happiness and purpose. He seeks it in war, sex, art and religion. He even attempts to take the throne from his father in hopes of finding inner peace in reform. In his distraught wanderings he stumbles upon a young widow named Catherine and her son Theo. In the end he finds the answer to his search in the simple things of life - family, love and home. These are the very things he first thought himself so much above finding fulfilling. But in Pippin's humbled words: "It never was there. I think It was here."
The character of the Leading Player is a devilishly seductive voice that glorifies Pippin's doubt and discontent, and cackles at the mayhem he helps create along the way. The rest of the cast are really pawns in the acting out of the story, with the Leading Player sometimes directing the action from within the tale. The use of a troupe of players to tell the tale provides a blank canvas for the set and costume design. It can be any time period and any settings. The story, of course, is a timeless one, the tale of youthful self-discovery.
The set design for this production by Kathryn Davis places us in a back alley. One could rightfully ask for prettier surroundings in which to join this magical theatrical journey. It is more fitting of Godspell than Pippin. Costume design by Carlos Toro is slightly disappointing. Pippin's father, Charles, wears a business suit which places him in a time period after 1920, while the majority of the cast is dressed in assorted dance attire, and Theo wears athletic shoes and shorts post-1990. Feathered fans in Catherine's "Ordinary Woman" do much to enhance the number. More use of the fanciful would have framed the show more effectively. Though, at the performance I attended, the theatre was experiencing microphone problems with their sound system that were troublesome to the audience, the actors on stage carried on unperturbed. Bob Fosse's choreography in the original production will forever be linked to Pippin; the choreography for this production by Marc Carmen manages to represent the style rather than duplicate it, without being disappointing.
Shane Blanford is refreshingly earnest and without guile as Pippin. His slightly pop lyric voice lends itself well to the part. His mild cracks on some high notes are forgivable as his delivery is so sincere. Director Marc Carmen finds just the right chemistry between Blanford as Pippin and Martine Perry as Catherine. Perry lends a warmth and gentle humor to Catherine that makes the role what it should be. Joshua Holihan is a tad heavy-handed as the Leading Player. He opts for more anger in his line deliveries than one might desire, making his character less alluring and enticing. Though he tends to make vocal entrances aggressively driving upward into the pitch, he sings the demanding part of the Leading Player quite well. Though he part is usually cast with a strong dancer, Holihan was really only able to demonstrate any dance ability in the enjoyably choreographed "On The Right Track." More of the same staging of his other numbers could have made this the plum role of the Playhouse's season.
Missy McArdle is adorable as Berthe, Pippin's grandmother. She clearly commands the stage when she appears. Cheers to Jodie Dixon-Mears who stepped into the show mid-run as Fastrada. If it were not for the exclusion of Fastrada's song, "Spread A Little Sunshine," one would never have known all was not exactly as planned. Hal Johnstone as Charlemagne is both distinguished and dotty, and Stephen Eisenwasser is mischievous as Theo. The ensemble as a whole has some unevenness, but the end product of their combined efforts is a production that is every bit as good as one would see in local professional theatres.
Pippin appeared at the Lake Worth Playhouse from October 6, 2006 - October 22, 2006 on their main stage. The theatre is located at 713 Lake Ave. in Lake Worth. In addition to it's season of main stage shows, the company also operates the Stonzek Studio Theatre, their intimate black box theatre next door. The Lake Worth Playhouse Educational Program offers professional touring theatre for young audiences, and classes, workshops and camps for children 5 and up. For more information on the Lake Worth Playhouse you may contact then by phone at 561-589-6410 or on line at www.lakeworthplayhouse.org.

The Perks Of Being A Wallflower
Posted by Charlie O'Shea | Posted in Charlie O'Shea, Other Finds | Posted on 08-05-2009
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a cult coming of age book written by Stephen Chbosky published in 1999. It's definitely among my favourite books of all time and I wish I'd discovered it earlier in my life. It's the story of a 15/16 year old boy during his first year of high school.
The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is written in an interesting format in that it is made up of a series of letters written by an anonymous boy to an anonymous reader. The book opens with this…

The Long Head
This is a trial for Heading Dogs, where the dog has to 'sight' the sheep at a long distance, move them and then bring them to the handler in a straight line. Three sheep are always used in trials in New Zealand as this is the most difficult combination - it's not a flock, and the sheep will always split into two and one - and in unpredictable ways. The handler's skill is to predict this - to be able to 'read' the sheep.
Picture 1. The release and cast. In the picture the three sheep are on the top of the hill on the left and have just been released from a holding pen by the 'releaser'. After the judge has given the start signal, the competitor or handler at the bottom of the hill has sent his dog away to find the sheep. Timing starts from then. The dog is at 11 o'clock from handler at the bottom of the hill on a right hand cast, and then go around them for 'the hold'.
Here's a picture of the releaser at the top of the hill, with his dog holding the sheep in the corner of a bit of fence until they are sighted by the competitor's dog. The releaser's dog is part hidden by a tuft of long of grass.
Picture 2. The dog (the tiny black dot) is now up the hill on the right nearly on a level with the sheep, 'keeping out' on command, so it goes above the sheep and comes around on to them for the 'hold'.
Picture 3. The hold. It's hard to see at this distance, but the dog has arrived at the sheep and is lying down above them in the 'hold' position. The sheep are looking at the dog anticipating its next move. You can now appreciate the importance of the dog's colour, to be able to see it and direct it at these distances.
Picture 4. The Lift then the Drive. Here the dog has completed 'the lift' and the sheep are starting to move from their release point. The dog is working on the sheep's left and directed by the handler has to move the sheep in a straight line down the middle of steep slope of the course.
Points are lost if the sheep veer off this line. The course is completed when the sheep pass through two peg markers at the base of the hill.
Here's a picture of a competitor whose dog has done a great job in driving the sheep down the slope. At this stage the competitor is allowed to move to the marked circle that the sheep have to end up in to complete the course.
Picture 5. The finish. The sheep have been driven passed the final markers to complete the course.
If the allocated time is used up before the course is completed, then the judge shouts 'Time' and the handler calls off his dog. Other helpers and their dogs retrieve and remove the sheep from the course for the next competitor, or the competitor will do this.

Many of the time series in the nber collection contain a seasonally adjusted series as well as the original data. Dr. Geoffrey H. Moore, Director of Business Cycle Research at NBER, has written the following remarks on the subject of seasonal adjustments:
The monthly and quarterly data in the National Bureau's collection of time series are adjusted, in most instances, for seasonal variations. Virtually the only exceptions are series where no seasonal variation was present or could be found. Occasionally seasonal movements will disappear from a series for a period of years, as for example when prices are fixed by fiat or when the monetary authorities counter the seasonal pressures on interest rates. The pervasiveness of seasonal variations can be traced to their source: recurring changes in the weather or climatic conditions and conventional changes due to religious observances, holidays, and other customs, the number of days in the month, legal conditions such as tax payment dates, or business practices such as quarterly payment of dividends. For purposes of business cycle analysis the repetitive movements caused by these factors are largely irrelevant and confusing. They are removed by seasonal adjustment.
Only the original and the seasonally adjusted data are reproduced in this file. The seasonal factors used to derive the seasonally adjusted data are not shown. They can be reproduced, at least approximately, in most instances, by dividing the original data by the seasonally adjusted. In some instances, notably where the original data have plus and minus values, the seasonally adjusted figures should be subtracted from the original to derive the seasonal factors. since the seasonal factors change from time to time, sometimes every year, it may not be easy to reproduce the factors precisely, because of rounding problems. Moreover, the method of estimating the seasonal factors has not been specified. The original files from which these records were taken usually contain worksheets which show how the seasonal factors were estimated. Most of the series were adjusted by the National Bureau and a variety of methods were used, which will be briefly described here. For further details the user is referred to the sources listed below.
Methods of seasonal adjustment used by the National Bureau changed during the period, beginning in the 1920's when the data were being collected and analyzed. The two principal methods used were the "monthly means" method and the "ratio to moving average method." With the monthly means method the original data for all the Januaries were averaged over a period of, say, ten years, then the mean of all the Februaries was obtained, and so on. These twelve averages are then adjusted for secular trend and expressed as a ratio to the average for the year. The resulting ratios for January, February, etc. are the seasonal factors to be divided into the original data to obtain the seasonally adjusted data for the ten year period. Variations on this method involved taking averages of the middle items in the array of januaries, etc.; applying the seasonal indexes to a period shorter or longer than the period from which they were derived; and operating with differences instead of ratios.
The ratio to moving average method relies on the principle that a twelve month moving average is not, as a rule, affected by seasonal variations but does contain all of the secular trend, much of the cyclical movement, and little of the irregular fluctuation. Hence when it is divided into the original data the ratios contain all of the seasonal variation, none of the trend, some of the cyclical movement and all of the irregular. By averaging all the January ratios for a period of, say, seven years, then all the February ratios, etc., one obtains a set of seasonal indexes in which the residual cyclical and irregular movements have largely canceled out. Variants of this method involved using weighted moving averages instead of a simple twelve month average, altering the periods over which the ratios were averaged or altering the method of averaging, and using differences instead of ratios. This method became the basis for the widely used electronic computer method of seasonal adjustment developed by Julius Shiskin, varously called X-11, Census method II, etc. A number of the series in the bureau's collection were adjusted by the computer program.
The ratio to moving average method is readily adapted to producing a moving seasonal adjustment, i.e. seasonal factors that change every year in a smooth, progressive fashion. another method used to adjust the seasonal factors from one year to another is called amplitude adjustment: the pattern of the factors during the year is held constant but the size of the seasonal swing is made larger in some years than in others by means of a regression adjustment. Many series have been adjusted, usually by the compilers, by an implicit moving seasonal. Seasonally adjusted components are summed to form the total, and shifts in their magnitudes cause changes in the implicit seasonal adjustment of the total. Finally, in some instances a special method, devised by Arthur F. Burns, for eliminating seasonal variations from highly irregular series has been used. It involves multiplying the seasonal factors (expressed as deviations from 100) by a smoothed version of the series (a twelve-month moving average) and subtracting the resulting products from the original data. The method assumes that the absolute amount by which the series sould be adjusted (i.e., in original units) is independent of the irregular component of the series.
For fuller explanations and illustrations of the methods of seasonal adjustment used by the national bureau over the years consult the following nber publications:

Thank you to Nereyda at Mostly YA Book Obsessed for tagging me!
Rules: Be as truthful as you can and tag 5 bloggers.
I'll try my best. LOL
What are your top three book hates?
1.) (Lack of) Morning Breath kisses. I don't get it. I don't care how hard your brush your teeth the night before, you're going to wake up with stale morning breath. So whenever there's a romantic moment between characters "the morning after" and they're playing tonsil hockey, I cringe. In my mind, I can't stop thinking about the state of their mouths. Haha
2.) Unnecessary Angst. Look, I get that angst is a vital part of the story sometimes. HOWEVER, it drives me crazy when the I read a book where it takes 70-80% for the couple to get together, or for things to progress romantically. I usually get really frustrated while reading those kinds of books, so I try to steer clear. I just can't deal. If it's going to take that long to get your act together (to make things work), then it's not worth it.
3.) Annoying Heroines. I know this is a very vague answer, so let me break it down. Naive virgins (who blush at hand holding), overemotional basket-cases, oversensitiveness, or unreasonably insecure. I get it, we all have our insecurities, our flaws, our struggles. However, I have a hard time connecting with heroines with the aforementioned traits. Primarily because if I have to keep reading about how you think you're ugly, yet all the men in the book fawn over you, the chances are, I'll reach through my kindle and bitch slap you. (AKA, DNF.) I'm practically dead inside, so more often then not, I steer clear from books that have the words "damaged", "traumatic", "emotional", or "tortured past" in the synopsis.
Describe your perfect reading spot:
I love reading outside. Beach, pool, or deck. I love them all. Especially on a nice spring day. But, considering the last time I read outside, a hummingbird collided with my face, I've been mainly reading indoors as of late. (LOL) So, my fave indoor spot is in my room, in bed. :)
Tell us three book confessions:
1.) I hate reading with the lights on. I will strain my eyes and read in the dark if I could. I primarily read on my Kindle HDX as it's more convenient, but when I read print books, I hate using lamps or lights to read. I have a lightwedge LED book light that I use when reading print books. I love it because it lays flat on the page and gives off a muted amount of light, so it's not too much. I'd always much rather read by natural light if I can. :)
2.) As much as I hate "the feels", I secretly enjoy books that bring them out of me. I know, I know. For those who know me, they'll tell you that the first question I ask upon getting a book recommendation is: "Are there feels?". I typically don't like going for the obvious ones like The Fault in Our Stars, however, I tend to give it a try. I like knowing that even though I'm not a touchy feely person, that I still have some emotions buried deep. HAHA!
3.) I typically read 3-4 books at a time. I am very ADD when it comes to my "currently reading" shelf. I can listen to 2-3 different audiobooks at a time (in shifts), and I'll typically have at least 1 or 2 different books that I'm reading on my Kindle, or in print. Sometimes, if you look on my Goodreads and you see that I have 2 books listed as "currently reading", chances are there are at least 2 more that I haven't listed, as I am "stealth-reading" them. Sometimes I stealth read so that if I DNF or don't like the book, I don't feel obligated to do too much explaining.
When was the last time you cried while reading?
Winger by Andrew Smith. I went from stunned to sobbing in 60 seconds flat. That book wrecked me in the best way, and I loved every minute of it. I love the books that sneak-attack your feels. Those are the best. I should also say that I don't always cry at the sad parts. Sometimes I cry at the wrong parts. *shrugs*
How many books are on your bedside?
I'm lazy. Here's a picture of my bedside table. It's my informal TBR. :)
What is your favorite snack while reading?
Anything dipped in hummus (Pretzels, carrots, celery), or Honeycrisp Apples with Caramel dipping sauce. Apparently I like dipping things.
Name three books you would recommend to anyone?
I have more than 3, but I'll try my best to narrow it down. Some of my book friends may be surprised by what they don't see on here…
1.) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern– This book is nothing short of beautiful. The imagery, the story, the characters: MAGIC. Fan-effin'-tastic.
2.) On Dublin Street by Samantha Young– A lot of people will tell you that after they read Fifty Shades, they rediscovered their love for reading. If you ask me though, I'll tell you that THIS book is the one reignited my love for Contemporary Romance. I cannot tell you how many times I've reread this. I am obsessed with Joss and Braden.
3.) Winger by Andrew Smith. This is a recent read, but dayum, it is so good. I don't know what else I can say that I haven't already said about this book, but all I can tell you is that I laughed, I cried, I even learned a thing or two. Winger is one of the best YA books I have EVER read.
Honorable Mention:
Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell is one of my all-time favorite reads. Even though I adore this, I can see how it isn't for everyone. But I try to get this in the hands of every book lover, cause this is a book that everyone should experience.
Show us a picture of your favorite bookshelf on your bookcase:
Here's my main shelf (where some shelves are stacked 3 rows deep, lol).
(Yes, that's baseball on my TV. I am not ashamed.)
Since I can't pick just one shelf, I shall display a few of the faves.
BDB, FTW! If you're not hip to The Black Dagger Brotherhood, you better recognize!
My Karina Halle shelf! I love all these books! :)
My JLA and Victoria Scott shelf! (Fire & Flood is missing– I sent it off to my friend to have it signed!)
Some of my fave YA reads! (With one adult one–Attachments) A few books are missing (The Daughter of Smoke and Bone series and Winger–those were borrowed by friends or sent off to get signed!)
All so pretty, and all so signed! (Sock Monkey photobomb!) The only book missing is On Dublin Street, which will be getting signed this summer!
Write how much books mean to you in three words:
The Best Entertainment. (Well, next to baseball…)
What is your biggest reading secret?
I don't think I really have a reading secret. But I will say that I'm obsessed to audiobooks. I can't get enough. I own close to 400 audiobooks in my library…I have a problem. (Sorry I'm not sorry.)
Something that is a secret: I typically am paranoid when listening to audiobooks in public. I've had a bad experience or two where the audio starts spontaneously playing through my speaker, and it's at an embarassingly steamy part…(which ultimately made me look like a perv.) So I usually ALWAYS have headphones plugged in at all times.

Portugal often gets overlooked by travelers in favor of France, Italy, and Spain. But in recent years, several Lisboans and European expats have quietly opened small, design-centric properties that are drawing in-the-know visitors and establishing the country as the next great stylish getaway.
Along the cliff-studded coast of the Algarve and on the sun-drenched plains of the Alentejo, these architecturally dazzling hotels stand out boldly from the wild, rural landscape, yet feel entirely rooted in the local culture.
The owners of Villa Extramuros, for instance, enlisted a Lisbon-based architect to design a modern white cubic structure that blends beautifully into the wildflower- and olive-tree-covered hills of the Alentejo.
The area has not escaped the attention of some big-name international figures: Philippe Starck reportedly bought a house in Herdade da Comporta, a chic seaside enclave in the Alentejo, and Aman Resorts has been scouting locations in the area.
Despite such developments, this corner of Portugal remains primarily an insiders' refuge—quiet, inexpensive, and thoroughly unpretentious.

From paper to digital in just one click
Leaving notes on a post-it, poster, sign or board is one of the more simple and direct methods that people use to communicate. Indeed, team meetings often need to use a white board to collect and organise ideas. Meetings of this kind often take place simultaneously, at sites separated by significant distances.
How can you bring together all of the information produced in these brainstorming sessions? By aggregating them in a digital table shared directly by means of mobile phones or tablets, where cameras serve to "record" these sources.
This is the role of Walling it, a software program that analyses and recognises different hand-written notes, classifies them according to size and colour and converts the words and symbols into their digital equivalents. Or, how to turn unstructured hand-written information into its digital equivalent and share it online, without re-entering the data or wasting time. This kind of sharing enables more collaborative management by means of technologies such as the Cloud. The numerous applications of Walling it will include directing meetings, facilitating brainstorming and visualisation, taking minutes and sharing information in real-time.
Discover all of our videos on the Sogeti High Tech YouTube channel.
The modelling and creation of Walling it required competencies in:
• Semantic models
• Artificial intelligence
• Shape detection and recognition
• Image analysis and processing
• Agile IT and web development
• Product life cycle methodologies and processes

I still can't believe I am typing the words "Artisan Design Team". I never dreamed that I would one day be part of this amazing team when I joined Stampin' Up! in 2009. Back then, Demonstrators in the South Pacific couldn't even apply, so I used to look at all the amazing projects these girls made with stars in my eyes! Thankfully, two years ago, that all changed and here I am.
Just a little bit about me. I have been married to my sweetie for 24 years and we have one daughter, who no longer lives at home. I work part time as a PA for an Accountant. I have been stamping for a little over 8 years and have an amazing team called the Paper Diva's, many of whom have been with me nearly from the start! I am extremely grateful I get to do what I love the most - card making and sharing the passion of creating with exceptional Stampin' Up! products.
So there you have it, my first DT project for the year. My dear friend Rochelle Blok is next on the hop, and I just know she will have a stunner project for you!
All product used in this project are listed below. Shop Stampin' Up! Products with me!

By Dylan Vazzano, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Another dominating performance was the story for the Tennessee Tech tennis team Saturday afternoon, as the Golden Eagles took down Jacksonville State, 6-1, in the club's second home match of the spring. With the win, Tech (9-6, 4-0) remains undefeated in OVC play with two matches remaining in the regular season, a pair of home tilts against Tennessee State and Belmont next weekend.
Early drama took center stage in doubles play, with the Golden Eagles narrowly edging JSU (9-7, 2-2) behind a back and forth No. 1 battle between Eduardo Mena and Marcos Bernardes, and Jaryd Reese and Austin McCormick. Following a split in the other two matchups as the tandem of Guillermo Nicolas and Alberto Esteban took down Mathias Chaim and Paolo Cucalon in the No. 2 slot, and the duo of Pablo Caffarena and Andres Gomez slid past Jorge Alfonzo and Marc Mila in the No. 3 spot, it all came down to the No. 1 position for the right to take the early advantage.
Mena and Bernardes would ultimately rein supreme, rallying late to capture a 7-5 win that gave the Golden Eagles a 1-0 edge in the match.
Mena and Bernardes parlayed their doubles success into strong singles showings, each claiming victory at the top of Tech's rotation. Mena, who recently catapulted himself to No. 56 in the country, soared past Jaryd Reese, 6-1, 6-3 out of the No. 1 position. Mena has now won nine-straight to improve his spring singles mark to 13-2.
As far as Bernardes is concerned, the 5-foot-9 junior took his battle in straight sets, knocking off Pablo Caffarena, 6-3, 6-3, in the No. 2 matchup.
Sophomore Guillermo Nicolas and junior Jorge Alfonzo followed suit with a pair of straight-set nods towards the back of the TTU lineup to help push the Golden Eagles to their 21st consecutive OVC victory. Nicolas won his No. 4 meeting with Paolo Cucalon, 6-2, 7-6 (7-2), for the Villanueva de la Canada, Spain native's fifth win in a row, while Alfonzo took care of business in the No. 5 slot with a 6-0, 7-5 victory over Andres Gomez.
Freshman Marc Mila needed a little more time in his No. 6 matchup with Guillermo Agost, but the Barcelona, Spain native ultimately prevailed, 7-6 (9-7), 5-7, 12-10 in a shortened three-set affair.
JSU's lone win in singles action that snapped Tech's string of three-straight OVC shutouts came in the No. 3 slot as Mathias Chaim narrowly edged Alberto Esteban, 6-4, 7-6 (7-4).
With two more matches in TTU's bid of back-to-back perfect conference campaigns, the Golden Eagles will host Tennessee State Friday at 1 p.m. CT, before ending the regular season with a home Saturday match against Belmont at 2 p.m.

Once in a while, someone takes time out of their busy day to comment on my work or ask me about the craft of writing. I appreciate every review, comment and blog post about my novels, because writing is a lonely craft and it's easy to feel like I'm screaming into an abyss. So in honor of everyone who's paid attention to Nightlife Publishing, I offer this sample of reviews and interviews.
Top Books Worth Reading on A Taste of Honey: It's not often that you find a thriller novel that dares to touch a high level of eroticism without affecting the plot and the flow of the action. Actually, in "A Taste of Honey", the steamy scenes are so well done and perfectly integrated that they add a lot to the characters, allowing the readers to understand what is happening in their minds and souls.
Jo Ammons: New York Books Examiner on A Taste of Honey: It is that kind of thriller that doesn't shy away from showing how the world of crime truly is, and the author has created a story in which seduction and sex are the most powerful weapons.
Independent Publisher News on A Taste of Honey: Thriller fans will find in Gamal Hennessy's book a compelling story, a complicated puzzle they are invited to solve together with the characters, and a completely unexpected ending that will take them by surprise. In short, "A Taste of Honey" has everything it needs to become a bestseller.
Glenda Bixler: Author and Critic on A Taste of Honey: I have trouble with an erotic novel that doesn't have a great background story. So I was very pleased and excited to read A Taste of Honey! If you like it sexy, you're going to find it here... If you like crime stories like I do...you've also got a good story here!

Dear Friends for Life: Recently, a new wave of human trafficking has come to light. Yes, it's a growing billion-dollar child-porn-industry which relies on the internet to prey on vulnerable children, beginning at an early age and extending into early teen years. New Cyber Trend in Human Trafficking is creating worldwide alarm. What is it? Cyber-sex is the use of children in live performances over the internet for paying customers. It is the perfect 21st century crime without borders, making it difficult to stop. Continue reading

This is the time of year that Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. God that was born a man so that he might be the salvation for the whole world. I am sorry if saying "Merry Christmas" offends you. It's a pretty important thing for me though. So have a little compassion and respect for others and just say Merry Christmas back. Hopefully we can all get along, even if for just a little while.
Merry Christmas!!

In September, I went for a stress test at St. Joseph Hospital in Brainerd, MN. My breathing is poor because of previous lung cancer so my performance was poor. I had told the doctor this but he insisted on the stress test. I didn't last long. The nurse gave me a nitro pill. She walked three paces to a cabinet, got the pill, put it in a little white cup, came back and gave it to me.
I later received a bill for $41.50. Trusting the hospital and my insurance, I paid it.
A month later, I received another bill for $220 for medication that Medicare and Medica would not pay.
So I got a list of the medications and what the hospital was charging me. I found out that the charge of $41.50 was for the nitro pill. The charge for the ONE pill was $41.50. At my regular pharmacy, they cost me $1.25 a piece. I am sure my pharmacy is making a profit at $1.25.
This is atrocious. There is simply no way that there is $40 worth of effort to get that pill. Unless of course that was a very expensive little, white cup.
So, as I said, I got a list of the medications that I was being charge $220 by the hospital. I developed an Excel spreadsheet with their charges, the charges at the local pharmacy and the percentage difference. At the pharmacy, it would have been $7.55.
I sent all this information with a cover letter to the hospital administrator along with a check for $15.10 - wanted them to have a profit. I figured the hospital would simply ignore my concerns. They would dog me with collections. They have all the power.
I received a call from the chief financial officer. They were accepting my check as payment in full. He apologized for the cost of the meds and explained that the price I found from my retail pharmacy was the price they paid also. He said they were looking into how to reduce their charges. Hummmmmm.
I was pleased.
This is one of the reasons why our insurance is so high. It is time our elected state and federal senators and representatives do something about this. They still are working for us, aren't they?
It is tough enough having to go to the hospital. Going to the hospital should not involve me having to battle for reasonable prices. It is stressful for any of us.

Should I get the bionic today? Or wait? Also, how easy is it to root Bionic?
Rooting the bionic is very easy actually. I love my bionic, but if you browse around you'll find other people who either love it ir hate it, so its really personal preference. I myself don't like the look of the razr, and ill be damned if I ever lay my hands on a samsung device again. But again, this is my opinion.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
Do you want a Razr Nexus, or the Razr, or the Nexus?
I'm not impressed with either to be honest, but, that is my opinion. Any new phone with a dual core is an IMPRESSIVE upgrade from the D1 (RIP).
^^^good point. The Bionic has had some issues, but it's pretty much on par with the RAZR and Nexus, although they both had a bit better screen and the Nexus at least will have a much better camera.
If you care about the camera, the Bionic is supposedly terrible. Otherwise it's very competitive.
I would add, however, that my feeling is the RAZR is going to be Moto's baby and it will be better supported than the Bionic. The RAZR brand might prop-up resale value a bit if that matters.
The camera on the bionic isn't bad per se, it just takes forever to focus in on things. With the Roms foe the bionic out now, they replace the default bionic camera app with others that worm faster, but still retain the quality.

Sent from my DROID BIONIC using DroidForums
If you're into rooting and flashing, go pick up a Bionic today. There's a great team of Devs already backing the Bionic, and their ROMs seem to fix a lot of issues that the Bionic had right out of the gate. Plus with the leaked .893 files you've got most the annoying problems dealt with (connectivity issues, camera, etc). Add to that the fact that both the Nexus and Razr will probably have a slew of problems at first, just like all smartphones. So it really comes down to: Do you want a phone that's supposed to have it's major problems fixed by around mid-November, or do you want to wait for a new phone that may have worse issues when released and silently curse it for a month or so while the kinks are being worked out?
As to everything else, it comes down to personal preference. Is a removable battery important to you? If so, the Razr is out. What about using SD cards? That rules out the Nexus. The slight jump in clock speed for the Razr/Nexus will barely be noticeable, if at all. And honestly, I like being able to use my phone in direct sunlight...something that the Bionic does astronomically well.
But, that's all just my opinions and beliefs. I dig my Bionic, and nothing slated to release in the next few months Wow's me as much as it did. Mostly because those phones are not doing anything new or revolutionary beyond ICS, and the Bionic will end up getting that.
That's a great point I keep trying to forget about the Bionic: visibility outdoors. If you think about it, outside is often when you really NEED to use your phone when you need to use your phone. But I'm interested to hear more about real world tests with the RAZR and Nexus, because I have a feeling at least the Nexus will perform pretty well in direct sunlight, as well.
Only have to wait a couple more weeks for at least the Razr to come out too. No official release date of the Nexus yet, unless I missed something the past 2 days I haven't really been on the board...
Real world tests and comparisons are, in my opinion, the second best way to look at a phone other than getting your hands on one to demo.
go get the Bionic it at Best Buy - they'll do an exchange within 30 days, despite Verizon's 14 day rule... can't return and go back, but can exchange
But they don't honor the NE2 discount, correct?
True, but without buying the phone you can't test it yourself in direct sunlight. Plus, I'd rather not incur the restocking fees.
I played with the Bionic in the store for about 5 minutes. I became very frustrated and agitated over the demo junk loaded onto it that kept interrupting my exploring the features.

Finally finished the next project on my list, doll clothes. Yes, I know, more doll clothes.
It's officially been a year since I got Usagi (a ball jointed doll), so I decided to make her a special outfit.
I made a wrap style top, a simple necklace and a pair of jeans.
The jeans were a challenge. Pants in general are a challenge for me and I had to draft the pattern for these as well as figure out how to sew them. It was all for the best, they came out well and I even created a printable pattern for them.
I posted a full tutorial for jeans for MSD sized ball jointed dolls on my doll blog. Feel free to check it out if you have a doll this size or know someone who does.
The top was actually inspired by this tutorial for a cute doll dress. Of course that one was designed for a different type and size of doll, so I had to draft my own pattern. If you wish you can download it here on my doll blog.
The necklace is made from tiny beads I got from SAS (see A Quick and Pink Craft Haul). I just strung them and used a regular clasp and crimp beads. Super quick and easy.
All together is makes for a super cute and stylish little doll outfit.
Here's the updated list:
Dress Accessories Jeans Baby

Four down, just one more to go.

God And Google Are Watching
Most adherents to monotheistic religions believe, to some extent, that there is an omnipotent and omnipresent entity involved in the world and their lives. In Judaism, while this concept is ever present, it comes to the fore during, and just before, the High Holidays of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. During this time especially, Jews the world over scrutinize their behavior in preparation to repent for sins committed the previous year. In the numerous prayers associated with these holy days the imagery created is that of God sitting in judgement of each person. Before him is a ledger containing all the person's deeds for the previous year from which he will decide if the person's good deeds outweigh the bad, or visa versa. This idea is concretized in the Rosh Hashana greeting "You should be written and sealed" in the book of life.
One would think that with the belief that their deity is watching their every move and that he has the power to snuff out their lives if they sin, religious people would behave in perfect alignment with the tenets of their faith at all times. Of course, human nature does not function that way. Even if during the High Holidays they make an extra effort to behave, they become desensitized with the normal routine of life. Not only that, but in the reality of day to day living, people are much more affected by the thought of being caught by their fellow man than being seen by God.
Jewish law recognizes this reality. For example in the area of Kosher supervision, even the most pious restaurant owner is subject to periodic oversight. Another example is the concept of "Yichud" where a man and woman who are not married to each other are forbidden from being alone together without the presence of other people. This concept was also reinforced in the general population (prior to the advent of mobile computing) where many experts agreed the "safest" placement for a computer with internet access was in a room that is most trafficked.
A common theme in Rabbinic homiletics is to try to heighten people's awareness of God in their day to day lives. In the 1980s clergymen were given the "gift" of personal video recorders. For the first time in human history the idea of one's actions being recorded became very real. A person could now easily imagine that, with enough video tape, God really could record every action of man. Many a sermon was based on that idea. Yet there was little behavioral change as, let's face it, not all that many people were walking around with camcorders.
Fast forward to the 2010s. Anyone can look into your backyard with Google Earth and they can see the color of your shutters with Google Street View. Sure, it's not in real-time… yet, but we know that it's just a matter of time before it will be. (And we also can assume that military satellite capability has to be far superior to Google's.) Beyond that, a majority of people in first world nations, 70% and more in some cases, are walking around with smartphones that connect to the internet and have video recording capability. That means most of the people around you right now are walking news studios. They can take a video of you and broadcast it to the world instantly via YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. On top of that, there are over 200 million bloggers out there chomping at the bit to write about anything and everything.
Whether or not you believe that God is watching your every move, whether you're a pious monotheist or an atheist, there is now the ever present reality that someone can easily record your actions. It's likely that if you say or do something stupid, impolitic, or otherwise blog-worthy you will be "caught". This is true more so for people in the limelight.
Unfortunately, many religious leaders, as much as they've preached about the concept of being watched by God, have not grasped the reality that they are being watched by man. There is an endless flow of blog and social media posts of inane, inappropriate, and even criminal statements by these men and women who still believe that they are just talking to their own little flocks.
Well now it's time to preach to the preachers. When you give a lecture, when you give a sermon, when you write a letter, when you teach a class, when you sign a poster – assume what you've been preaching to us all these years. Assume that not only God, but everyone – every man, woman and child – will see a video of what you said or a scan of what you wrote or signed. Assume that some blogger with an "agenda" is then going to further spread and critique those posts. (And for our orthodox Jewish friends, don't assume that Sabbath restrictions will protect you, as some blogger is sitting out there ready to write up that outrageous statement you made in your sermon the minute the sun goes down.)
I'm not saying these things to chill speech or to discourage people from speaking their minds. The idea is simply to think. Think before you speak, think before you write, and think before you act. If you're religious, make sure your behavior is something you think God would be proud of. If you're religious or not, assume you're acting before the entire world and not just your local cronies. Maybe if we all internalize this reality, it would actually help the world become the better place we all want it to be.

Did I tell you that I love this project??? Because I do. I really do.
Granted it's only been 4 weeks, almost 5. But I am so happy that I decided to embark on this project. I love that it captures the daily bits and pieces of our lives. Not just the super important events, or the Ahhhhmazing pictures. But the nitty gritty. The good, the bad, and the mundane.
Here is a look at my album and my cover page:
My album is by American Crafts. I bought it at Michaels for $12 during a 40% off sale. I have used these for the past two years, and love them. It is a 3 ring binder style, which is super easy to use. My neighbor just order a kraft album with a black fabric binding. I kinda love hers more. Maybe next year. The "c" is a super old Heidi Swap glitter chipboard alpha.
My cover page. I used the 6x6 divided Becky Higgins page protector, part of the Project Life collection. I stayed super simple. I just wanted it done. And it was...on December 31st. On the top, it reads, "OUR LIFE this is what I want to remember most". The "our" was done with a alpha roller stamp, the "life" are Thickers silver glitter alpha stickers, and the sentiment is from an Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday stamp. For the bottom right square, I used our 2012 Christmas card. I had it, it was easy, and it was pretty. I cut off the writing part and added the glitter 4.
Here is my first Project Life - WEEK 1
I ordered 3 Instagrams in 6x6 to fit the back of my cover page. I also used a 8x10 insert to fit the Valentine Paige made.
All the cards and pieces are from the Studio Calico Project Life monthly kit. Stamps used: office supply date roller stamp and Close to my Heart stamps.
I bought a Tiny Attacher (super tiny stapler but with a wider opening) and I might be obsessed with it. I used it to attach everything. Where has this tool been all my life? This side uses the Design A page protector, 4 4x6 and 4 3x4 openings. This will be my standard throughout the album, but I do plan to use other formats to mix things up a bit here and there.
A close up of an outline of Paige's hand. Such a simple part of childhood that I can now include in my books. I love that I can add artwork, and I only need a small piece to make it meaningful and memorable.
Austin writing his Christmas thank you cards. I took a picture of this one he wrote to his best friend, Ashlyn, and attached it to the full size photo.
I didn't have many photos for these two weeks, so I decided to just do a single side of the spread for each week.
For weeks 2 & 3 I ordered my Instagrams from PostalPix. I tried the new size, I 2x2 grid of 9 photos. It was only $1.99, making my grand total $4 after shipping. Not bad for two weeks. I just cut them apart. I included a library receipt this week, showing my new read, Bloom by Kelli Hampton. Also is a thank you card from one of Austin's teachers. She wrote such a lovely note about what things Austin loves about school. Nice to hear some positives and what he is doing well in.
Paige and I took a trip to Trader Joes and they gave us these super cute Valentine's stickers.
A picture of Austin looking at our 2012 family album. Love this moment. Receipts from Austin's hair cut, Target, and Safeway.
A grid of highlights from the week. I numbered each photo and then journaled about each one.
Life is Good stamp is Ali Edwards for Technique Tuesday. Arrow stamp is Studio Calico PL kit. I wanted to include the movie ticket from Austin's trip to see Monster's Inc 3D with Julianna. I attached the 2x2 photo with two staples, then glued the movie stub onto a small tag and slipped it behind the photo.
After I finished the weeks, I still had a few extra things the kids did and said that I wanted to include. I added a 5x7 insert and wrote them on the speech bubble card my my SC PL kit. It works.
So far I am really happy with how it is turning out. I am sure as I more forward I'll back and wish I did things differently, or maybe embellished the cards more. But for now I am concentrating on getting it done, keeping up with my journaling, and not falling behind. That is this year's goal.
