Vacation Catch-Up: Thor, Sensation Comics, & More
I've spent the last week taking it easy during the holidays and doing my best to catch up on my reading stack. In the past few days, I have brought myself up to speed on a few titles and some 40 issues of:
Justice League – Meh. Just … meh. I wish I could offer something more on this title, but it's leaving me bored. Might be time to drop it from my pull list soon, but I'll finish the current arc first.
Gotham Academy – I hate to say this because I was hoping for so much more, but the writing on this title has let me down. It's not BAD—it's just … a little slow? The pacing is dragging for me. And it's perfectly reasonable that many others would love the type of story they're telling in Gotham Academy, but for me personally, it's not hitting. I anticipated giving the book at least the first full arc to grab me, but I think I already know that it's not going to fit. And that's really a shame, because I LOVE the artwork on this book. Karl Kerschl's style is so clean and so lively, and even more exciting when you throw on Geyser and Dave McCaig's incredible colors—I wanted so badly to fall in love with this book. But I'm just … not.
Hawkeye – Umm … so, this title is coming back, right? Because I need this title. This title has to exist.
Black Widow – Natasha/X-23 team-up? Yes, please. More, please. Also, my goodness, I cannot explain my love for Phil Noto in any sufficient way for others to fathom. He is just … I can't. I love his work so much, it's unlike anything else. I can't compare him to anyone. And Marvel just announced that they're releasing a month's worth of Phil Noto variant covers in February, which means I'm trouble and will be buying way more titles that month than I need to be….
Thor – LOVE. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. Three issues in and I am OBSESSED with this book. Everything about it is solid; the writing is spectacular, the artwork is a delight, the colors are captivating. There is nothing more I could possibly want from this, and I'm so excited for the next issue.
Superman/Wonder Woman – This title was actually fairly decent under Charles Soule—it was better than what I was expecting, and Tony Daniel's art was crisp and lovely. But Tomasi's first issue as of #13 made this book take a giant nose-dive for me, and Mahnke's artwork is just not my cup of tea. Wonder Woman's characterization continues to suffer greatly since the New 52—I don't know who that person is, but she's not my Wonder Woman. But that in itself is a topic for a whole other discussion.
Sensation Comics – This book. This book is … just about the only thing keeping my DC fandom afloat at this point. If post-New 52 Wonder Woman is wrong, then Sensation Comics Wonder Woman is everything RIGHT and everything she should be. Reading this title is this massive dose of nostalgia, which is kind of weird, right? Because how can something brand new with different, alternative takes on a character make you feel nostalgic toward said character? It does, so very much. I'm not sure I'd do it proper credit in trying to explain, except to say that it's very clear each writer and artist gets Wonder Woman. They get her and they love her, and that comes through so obviously in every story—which, I'm sad to say, is not the case in her actual title or in pretty much any other DC book she's currently in. It's a tragic state of affairs. But if, like me, you want the Wonder Woman you loved before the New 52 destroyed everything she was and everything she stood for, then pick up Sensation Comics. You won't regret it.
The Women of Marvel Own NYCC
Some cool female-focused stuff came out of NYCC this weekend. DC announced that Stephanie Brown is finally making her return to the DCU, and while I want to be over the moon about this, I'm keeping my guard up. As the New 52 has taught me over and over again, these aren't the characters I love, but some horribly mangled iterations of them, so I can't let myself get too excited about Steph just yet. Not until … I see her.
That said, Marvel took the cake as far as announcements that make me happy. We already heard a couple of weeks ago that Charles Soule is writing a new She-Hulk book. As if that weren't great enough, we're also getting new Elektra and Black Widow solo titles, and a relaunched Captain Marvel. That's on top of the female-centric X-Men and Fearless Defenders books, to boot.
This reader is very happy indeed.
Except … I did notice something kind of weird.
- From Stephen Wacker's Captain Marvel interview on CBR: "Carol is sort of a blank slate coming out of the recent 'Enemy Within' storyline. So she's back to trying to find a place for herself."
- From Nathan Edmonson's Black Widow Interview on CBR: "Without giving too many of our plot turns away, Natasha is a character driven by atonement. She's a hero now, but she was a villain, and a dirty one."
- From Zeb Wells' Elektra Inverview on Newsarama: "Elektra's in a dark place […] The series will be about her journey to find meaning and maybe start clawing her way towards redemption."
Is it just me or does that all sound vaguely the same? That all of these characters are essentially lost and/or trying to make up for who they are or once were? Particularly regarding Black Widow and Elektra, haven't we already read these stories of attempted redemption over and over again? Isn't it about time those characters get over that trope and move onto something else?
I'm not condemning these titles; in fact I can't wait to pick them all up. But I am wary of the possibility of reading something that's rehashed and stale. I have a relatively high level of trust in these writers, though, so I guess we'll find out next year.
- On the flip side, here's what Charles Soule had to say about his She-Hulk: "She absolutely has problems, just like most of the heroes of the Marvel U, but she chooses to approach them with optimism and good spirit rather than surrendering to the grim and gritty."
Kind of leaves you with the exact opposite feeling from the others, doesn't it? I know which title I'm most looking forward to in 2014.
Post-Turkey Day Reviews
Hello. Have we all recovered from our food comas yet? I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It's tough being back to work after four lovely days off, but such, I suppose, is life. At least there is always the promise of Wednesday and new comics.
Princeless #2
Written by Jeremy Whitley
Illustrated by M. Goodwin
Publisher: Action Lab Entertainment
Price: $3.99
So … are you reading Princeless yet? Was my earlier review of issue #1 not convincing enough? Because I'm going to hound you all relentlessly until I get some messages saying "Yay, you're so right, Princeless is awesome!"
Oh, issue #2—you were everything for which I'd hoped. Princess Adrienne's story is continued, but this time around the narrative voice is shifted in the beginning from being Adrienne's to that of her brother, Prince Devin. When their belligerent father, the King, is misinformed that Princess Adrienne is dead (having fled the tower atop her dragon at the end of the last issue), Devin is devastated by what's happened to his sister and the thought that he may have had a hand in her death. Ooohhh, yeah—weren't expecting that, were you? You'll just have to read the issue to learn what I mean. There's a lot more that happens here, but I can't tell you about it without an insane amount of gushing.
Jeremy Whitley's writing keeps its momentum from issue one, and the hilarity doesn't stop either. A couple of scenes in particular had me laughing out loud as I read this on one of my train commutes, and the ending left me disappointed in the sense that I was sad there had to be one at all. Two issues in, and I feel like I've known these characters for a while. They're well-developed, well-rounded, and well-illustrated. Wonderful, wonderful comics being made.
This book is just a blast, and I'm so happy I found it. In a week where DC didn't release any of their New 52, it's a perfect opportunity to check out something else and breathe a breath of fresh air instead of the same old constant disappointment.
Please read this book, and please pass it along. I absolutely cannot fathom that you'd regret it.
Captain America & Bucky #624
Written by Ed Brubaker & Marc Andreyko
Illustrated by Chris Samnee
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $2.99
Hmm. What can I say about this one? I'm kind of stupid about Bucky and Natasha. They've only been a relatively recent discovery for me and I really, really love the pair … my reasons are myriad. So whenever I see the promise of some Bucky and Natasha team-up, I'm all on it. But this was a little bit of a letdown.
The issue started off very well. The story is set in the early days of the Winter Soldier, and Brubaker and Andreyko use it to delve into some of Bucky's past conditioning. We get peaks of his early missions and the formation of his romance with Black Widow, and all is well. We also see Bucky begin to defy his programming—the writing is strong, and I have to shout out to Chris Samnee, who really draws some excellent stuff. His style is wonderfully suited to the "throw back" feel of the book, giving it a unique flavor that's separate from that of the main Captain America title.
I began this by telling you that the issue was a letdown. Then I told you the writing is good and the art is great, so obviously I'm not making much sense here, right?
I guess I can't quite put my finger on what's missing. I think the problem is that I'm sitting here reading this issue, things are moving, I'm getting really into what's happening, and then … it's over. It just sort of … ends, and not in a "to be continued next issue" way. At first I wondered if my copy was missing some pages or something—that's how confused I was. I even went online and read some web reviews, but the three reviews I read all loved the issue and said nothing much further. I'm thinking I'm the only one who was left with this hanging feeling. If the book were an electronic device, could we chalk this up to "user error"? Did I somehow read the book wrong?
Despite my confusion, I can tell you that I thoroughly enjoyed what I read, and if you're a Bucky fan or a Black Widow fan, it's worth the pickup. Past that, I'm still trying to figure it out, but if the writing here is any indication of Brubaker's new upcoming Winter Soldier title, I'll definitely be picking that up.
Wolverine & the X-Men #2
Written by Jason Aaron
Illustrated by Chris Bachalo
Publisher: Marvel Comics
Price: $3.99
I had some qualms about this title and the team split that resulted from Schism, but since the X-Men are essentially what got me into comics in the first place, I always tend to follow at least one or two of their books. I read through the Schism event, and while I wasn't impressed with it to start, the latter issues picked up the pace and I found myself a little more invested in the central argument of what was happening—should the X-kids be mutantkind's soldiers, per Cyclops, or should they be children and students, per Wolverine? You can see the pull for both sides, and the depiction of that gray area is what makes this so interesting.
So as much as I dislike the title of this and the emphasis that's continually placed on Wolverine, the lure of most of my favorite characters siding with him as well as the promise of Chris Bachalo's artwork convinced me to pick it up.
I'm not disappointed. The first issue was a lot of fun, centering on Wolverine and Kitty trying to prep the newly-built Jean Grey School for opening day—and Jason Aaron's writing was strong. It continues to be so with issue #2, which is full of action. Usually when an issue of a comic is nonstop action, I actually get kind of bored, because my favorite thing about comics is character interaction. I like dialogue, I like getting in characters' heads, I like seeing them play off of one another. You know when Bendis writes pages and pages of Avengers where the characters are just talking and talking and talking? A lot of people seem to hate that, but I love the stuff. It's vastly more interesting to me than watching the X-Men battle a giant monster for 24 pages straight. If they aren't saying things to one another—if I'm not learning anything about anyone by watching them fight, then for me, that "action" is boring.
Lucky enough, this seems to be where Jason Aaron shines. The majority, if not the entirety, of issue two was the X-Men in a fight, and I was not disinterested once. Aaron seems to have struck the perfect balance between action and character development. We have an opening scene where Iceman unleashes his oft-discussed "potential" against the bad guys; there are shots of the X-kids holding their own while conversation and even romance brews. There are great things here.
That said, it's definitely not my perfect book. For one thing, I really dislike the villains—not in the "oh man, these guys are so evil" kind of way, but more in the "wow, these guys are so lame" kind of way. A group of rich, genius evil children taking over the Hellfire Club doesn't do it for me. I just have trouble buying it, and that's all on Aaron. His setup for them in Schism felt hackneyed and contrived, and I have no feelings invested in the group whatsoever. I can't connect, and really at this point, I just want the X-Men to defeat them and get it over with so they can move on to their next set of villains.
Despite that, I'm definitely enjoying this new title so far, and I'm optimistic that we can look forward to it being consistently good story-wise. However…
In my last review of the Captain America, I complained that Steve McNiven was the artist on the book for only six issues. Well, Bachalo's got him beat, because he'll be off of this after issue #3, with Nick Bradshaw taking over. I cannot tell you how much this pains/saddens/infuriates me, and it's taking a high degree of restraint not to fill this paragraph with cuss words. While it isn't a HUGE surprise that Bachalo's tenure here is brief—I can't remember the last time he actually stayed on a book past a few issues—it's still a huge tease to be reeled in like this, only to have half the creative team change within three issues. This is NOT the way to launch a new title, Marvel, and the habit is becoming unbearable. And for goodness' sake, this book is four bucks. FOUR BUCKS! Argh! Infuriating. Depending on how Bradshaw's art is, this title may or may not be on a short leash for me. Let's give it a few more and then re-evaluate.
Blurb Reviews
I wrote you all what I thought was a witty write-up on PAX East, but my computer apparently liked it so much that it ate it. I apologize that I don't have the patience to re-create from memory what was quite a long post, so I offer you blurb reviews in its place. Not quite the same, I know, but we make do with what we have. Off we go!
Ruse #1
Written by Mark Waid
Illustrated by Mirco Pierfederici
I've never read the original Ruse title, or any other Crossgen series for that matter. But when I heard about this book coming back along with Sigil under Marvel's takeover of Crossgen as an imprint, I figured there wouldn't be a better time for me to jump in, and Ruse sounded pretty intriguing from the solicits. The first issue didn't let me down, and I liked that it was easy to get into as a new reader without needing to look up years of back story. I like Mark Waid's manner of storytelling, and the artwork creates a great tone for the book as we follow a grand detective and his "assistant" (small joke) solve a murder. Waid opens the book right in the thick of things, and it only gets better from there. I have to say, I was a little worried that the female character in this series was going to come off as some helpless, futile figure only along for the sake of "bettering" the male character. My fears aren't entirely subsided from the first issue—but there's reason for hope. I'm on board.
Avengers: Children's Crusade Young Avengers #1
Written by Allan Heinberg
Illustrated by Alan Davis & Mark Farmer
When I first saw the solicitation for this in Previews, my reaction was something along the lines of "OMG ANOTHER ONE WHAT THE HELL I HATE YOU MARVEL." I really didn't, and still don't, see a reason for this issue to exist, other than to try to fill the absurd gap between current issues of Children's Crusade, and even then, it's pointless. Also, what's with the title? That's honestly the best they could come up with? You shock me, guys. Anyway, if you're reading Children's Crusade, you can pretty much skip over this entirely with no consequences whatsoever. The only thing we learn from this one-shot is that Kang the Conqueror (Iron Lad of the future) tricks his past/current self (Iron Lad of the present) to go back and try to stop the Young Avengers from rescuing the Scarlet Witch so that they don't get killed by the real Avengers … or something like that. Yeah, I can't even explain it, basically because it makes no sense and has no value to the story whatsoever. Cheap gimmicks all around. Also not a fan of Davis' art. Avoid this like the plague, but pick up the next issue of Children's Crusade (which I have yet to get to).
Captain America and the Secret Avengers #1
Written by Kelly Sue Deconnick
Illustrated by Greg Tocchini
I'm still debating how I feel about this one. You know what? It really wasn't bad. It wasn't the BEST thing I've read lately, not by a long shot, but it was entertaining and kind of a breezy read. I like the duo of Black Widow and Agent 13, and I loved the comedic and witty interplay instituted by Deconnick. It's a bit campy, a bit short, but overall a different flavor to the other books in the pile. Natasha and Sharon Carter walk into a trap in order to rescue a girl from … um … some other girls. Trained assassins. Hi-jinks ensue. Witty comebacks are delivered. And Steve Rogers is stuck at a desk doing paperwork while the ladies are out there rather swiftly kicking some ass. The art is a bit stylized and "sketchy" as opposed to "clean," which worked for me. Hmm. I've decided I like this. It's a one-shot, and that's enough.
Birds of Prey #11
Written by Gail Simone
Illustrated by Pere Perez
*High-pitched voice* AWESOMENEEESSSSSSSSSSS! I read this during my train commute in the ungodly hours of the morning, half groggy when I opened to the first page. It quickly woke me up. This story was not at all what I expected, particularly by the end. One look at that front cover and you're kind of sick from all the hearts, right? But don't judge a book—at least, THIS book—by its cover. This is a one-issue story, and in it, Gail Simone crafts yet another tale of action peppered with comedy, a little bit of tenderness, and some seriously solid badassery (sans Hawk and Dove, which was admittedly a nice breather). I'll tell you what we have here: a jewel heist. A hostage. A tense romance. A full-grown man in a cat suit. And, come the final pages, one seriously pissed off Huntress. It shouldn't need any more convincing than that. PICK THIS UP!
Nonplayer #1
Written & Illustrated by Nate Simpson
Wow. First of all, this was gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful to look at—eye candy in a pure sense, rather than the usual cheesecake sense. Do you ever read a comic where you're stuck looking at the same page—same panel—for minutes on end, just to make sure you've caught all the details and intricacies? That's what this book was like. I'd read a lot of hype online about this miniseries, and I was hooked on the "MMO" angle it sounded like it was going to take. It's actually so much more than that, though. The story is set a world apart from the one we know, and it's clear by the first issue that the gaming setting is going to be secondary to what's really happening here. The notion that this is Nate Simpson's first comic work is surprising—his simple, direct writing and his artistic layouts are spectacular and echo the experience of someone who you'd think has been in the industry for a while. Hopeful that the rest of the series continues this level of excellence. The book is already on a second printing; definitely check this one out if you can get your hands on it.
Marvel's Widow Maker
I was really looking forward to this a few months ago, and while I'm not entirely let down, I'm not blown away either. Here's what's up.
Marvel created two new titles last year in Black Widow and Hawkeye & Mockingbird, hailed as "ongoings." Frankly, I thought both were great, enjoyable reads. But then Marvel did what they always do, which is to say "Omg, these books aren't selling to our absurd standards … WE MUST DO SOMETHING TO MESS WITH THEM!" So Black Widow got a new writer in Duane Swierczynski after merely one story arc, which was a big mistake, as Swierczynski's script was nowhere near the level of his predecessor's, Marjorie Liu. Nor, for that matter, is Manuel Garcia's art any better than Daniel Acuna's, who I thought was a perfect fit for the tone of the book. Hawkeye & Mockingbird, on the other hand, simply goes on "hiatus" … after this genius crossover concludes, that is.
Yes, here we have Hawkeye & Mockingbird meeting up with Black Widow, and the creative teams on each book are taking turns writing and illustrating each issue. And therein lies my problem. While the story as a whole isn't bad, I have to say outright that the issues seem to go up and down. Issue one, done by Hawk & Mock's creative team of Jim McCann and David Lopez was stellar enough as far as setting up the book. Issue two sunk a little under Swierczynski's pen, and the artwork was incredibly hard to follow. Last week's issue three picked things back up, although I worry about the conclusion.
If you read the solicitation for this story and/or seen the preview images, you should know you've been misled. This book is almost not at all about what they said it would be about. I mean, take a look at this:
What's going on here? Mockingbird and Black Widow fighting? Surely it must be a cat fight over Clint. Shock! Well, no—not even close. In fact, Bobbi and Natasha have gotten along uninterestingly well so far. There is absolutely no drama in this department—which is fine by me. There's a general misconception that you can't put two women in the same room who have dated the same man without the claws coming out, so it was refreshing to see that NOT happen here. There's a reason these two ladies are strong characters, and it has nothing to do with the men in their lives. But I digress.
The main point of the story is that there is a new character running around using the "Ronin" name and costume, and causing all sorts of problems. Bent on setting off a war utilizing both Japanese and Russian forces, it's up to Clint, Bobbi, Natasha, and Dominic Fortune (still the most entertaining piece of this) to set things straight. That's the basic gist. Is it the most inspired piece of work out there right now? Not really, but it does have things to offer that some other books don't. It's fun, the character dynamics are pretty interesting, and overall it's just kind of a nice read—but it probably would have been even nicer if Jim McCann was just left to do the work himself. You should see the stuff that guy's putting together over at Archaia.
Ultimately, Marvel shoots themselves in the foot yet again, tampering with two recipes that were working just fine for the readers. I'll stick through this crossover, because I'm curious as to what happens to the Clint and Bobbi team once it ends. I'm kind of nostalgic about those two. I'll be sad to see Hawk & Mock go; sad that I have to read a subpar Black Widow when it was once so great with Liu behind the helm; and sad that when Marvel comes back in a few months to hype up a different "ongoing," I'll probably still fall for the bait.
Quick Blurb Reviews
Black Widow – This book has seriously gone down the sink hole with the new creative team. It's sad, too, because Marjorie Liu did an awesome job on her first arc, only to be replaced by unimaginative drivel. I'm hoping the upcoming Widow Maker cross-over with Hawkeye & Mockingbird (another title biting the dust) writer Jim McCann will maybe breathe a bit of life into Black Widow, but I'm not optimistic. This may be beyond saving, as Marvel had clearly already given up on it with the end of the first arc. If the horrible front cover doesn't give it away….
Halcyon – Huh? What?? Reading this title's first issue was upsetting; I'd heard so much hype and praise, and it most certainly let me down hard. The thing is, it's a great concept; I just find the execution sorely lacking. Not a fan of the art, not a fan of some of the lamer scenes, and ultimately closed the first issue without any love or attachment to the characters at all. I thought I might give this one another go next month, but honestly, I have better things to read. Like Return of the Dapper Men.
Uncanny X-Force – Now this is what I'm talking about! Issue one got me so excited; issue two just pumped it up further. This book is going to be a great ride, and I'm already waiting eagerly for #3. Rick Remender is on his game—the character interaction is fantastic; the concept and execution are clever; the artwork is fitting. Uncanny X-Force jumps to the top of my reading pile every time it comes out.

Almanacs have existed for as long as people have attempted to interpret the seas and the skies. The Babylonians compiled star catalogues, and the early Greeks and Egyptians knew the importance of correctly predicting the weather. Medieval almanacs introduced elements of divination to their texts. And, as early medicine associated human physiology with astrology, almanacs soon carried health advice too, with an edict of the University of Paris decreeing, in 1437, that all physicians must own a copy of the latest almanac. To read a bit more about the history of early English almanacs and their role in the practice of medicine, check out this fascinating blogpost from the Wellcome library.
Diagram showing the associations between the body and the stars, from 'Pond: An Almanack for the Year of Our Lord God 1695', Stationers' Company Library
With such a wide application, it's hardly surprising that almanacs were hugely popular books. In fact Gutenberg published the first printed almanac some years before printing a Bible. The advent of printing turned almanacs into best-sellers, and until the 1770s the Stationers' Company made substantial profits from its monopoly on publishing them. Over time, different almanacs emerged to cater for different readerships, and their contents developed into compendia of useful political and geographical facts, household tips, and adverts. We have a wonderful collection of almanacs in our library, ranging in date from 1620 to the early twentieth history. Taken together, they provide a unique insight into the social history of Britain.
For this exhibition, we decided to focus on one aspect of our almanacs: the 'enigma' sections, which were as popular with their readers as newspaper puzzle pages are today. Verbal puzzles enjoyed a revival of interest across Renaissance Europe; the many riddles that occur in Shakespeare's plays (e.g. Maria's trap for Malvolio in 'Twelfth Night', or the gravediggers' exchange in 'Hamlet') suggest the extent to which word games permeated English popular culture in the sixteenth-century. A few hundred years later, riddles were still amusing – and embarrassing – characters in Jane Austen's 'Emma'. Presenting some of those puzzles to today's exhibition visitors seemed like an excellent way of encouraging them to engage with the past.
That, at least, was the theory. It proved more of a challenge than expected to find enigmas that seem as entertaining and witty today as they no doubt did first time round. For a start, word puzzles were just more wordy back then: people had more time, or at least less to fill it with, and their attention spans could hold more than 140 characters a go. I had no chance of persuading anyone to wade through a page and a half of rhyming couplets published in very fine print. Particularly when the answers are so obscure to a modern audience that the pay-off seems a little disappointing. Inkwells or woolsacks are simply not answers that would pop into our heads when trying to solve a riddle. Moreover, having a year to work out the solutions, many readers replied to the puzzles with long-winded verses of their own. There are several enigmas to which I'm still not entirely sure of the answer. Early eighteenth-century riddles had the additional complication of being surprisingly bawdy: this exhibition is, after all, a family-oriented entertainment.
Eventually I settled on a page from 'The Lady's and Gentleman's Diary' or 1854, featuring both a rebus and a charade. Being now well-versed in the distinction between the two, I feel obliged to conclude this piece by sharing it with you. In a charade, typically each syllable of a word is described by a separate enigmatic or punning reference. A bit like how you act them out in a party game of charades, except you use written puns instead of mime. A rebus is a literary puzzle that plays off writing and printing conventions, as well as phonetic and pictorial representations. They're more common today as those puzzles you probably had as a child, with the word 'I' being replaced by a picture of an eye, etc. If you like those, do go to the exhibition and see the very lovely example Claire has provided, illustrated with beautifully drawn pictograms.
Enigma from 'The Woman's Almanac', 1744, Stationers' Company Library. The answer is: A horse-shoe

Ordering the Google Nexus 5 in Ireland
I've written about how I've ordered the Nexus 4 in the past, and a few minutes after the Nexus 5 was released to the public today I had already ordered one for myself, and I thought I'd share how I did it:
- To access the Google Play store to order the phone you need to appear as if you're in the UK. For this you need to use a VPN or Proxy service. I use VPNUK to access the play store, and they have a 7-day free trial if you want to give them a go – but any similar service will do – lots of other people seem to use "Tunnel Bear". If you already have an active Google account, you may need to use the privacy/incognito mode of your browser, as sometimes the Google browser cookies will continue to identify you as being in Ireland even when you use the VPN.
- Have a UK delivery address ready to use. I use Parcel Motel for this, and you can use their Northern Ireland address for delivery – more info on using Parcel Motel.
- You need to have a credit/debit card that is registered to a valid UK address, but it doesn't have to be the same address as you're using for delivery. I've heard of people that re-register their Irish credit card with a UK address, use PayPal, or use a UK prepaid credit card, but I can't comment on whether any of those work.
The Nexus 5 is available in both Black and White, and is priced at £299 for the 16GB model and £339 model – and both come pre-loaded with the latest version 4.4 (KitKat) of Android.

Can you tell me what you put in the address fields etc for the Google wallet details please. I really don't want to make a mistake. Thanks
Thanks Richard,
Looking to order one of these soon. It's unlocked network-wise, is it? I can just stick in my card and play? Will you share annoyances, niggles or tips with us after you've got it?
Is the Nexus 4 you had still working?
Stanley 4th November 2013 at 2:57 pm
Does anyone know *why* Google don't offer the phone for sale here?
I don't have any way to get a UK registered Credit Card and they rejected the order when they saw my billing address was in Ireland.
The mind boggles that we have to resort to the method here or look for one to pop up on eBay.
Terence 8th November 2013 at 3:41 pm
Hi Richard
I was thinking of driving up to the north, to Carphone Warehouse and buying it there, then bringing it back to Rep of Ireland. Would this work also?
Terence 11th November 2013 at 10:09 am
Hi Richard
Yes I just seen that there, apparently they only had a limited number of sim free available and they sold out, so I did see it at one stage but no longer unfortunately. So its looking like phonesonline for me with its markup price.
fran carroll 13th November 2013 at 1:44 pm
Hi Richard,
Thanks for posting. Very handy way of ordering. How are you finding the new nexus? How does it rate against the likes of the S4 and Z1. And what sim deal did you opt for?
Thanks Richard. Very useful information. How much did Parcel Motel set you back for delivery onto your residential address in Ireland?
It's a really good service – definitely recommend using Parcel Motel for UK delivery. Plenty of locations around the country with more being added all the time
So you collect the Nexus 5 at a locker in Dublin instead of it being forwarded onto your address via An Post?
Thank you. This is awesome.
The issue is that with the Nexus 5 you need to have an address in UK, so sending to NI Parcel Motel base qualifies as that. Parcel Motel is run by Nightline courier company.
For other items, many suppliers will ship to UK free of charge but charge £7.50-£10 (and I've seen more) to ship to Ireland. If you get them to send to your local Parcel Motel station, you only pay €3.50. Much more palatable and I've taken advantage of it many times.
The first two times you use the service was free when I signed up. Not sure if that is still the case.
Hi Richard,
I'm looking at buying a Nexus 5 which is US Version- can you confirm the only problem with it would be that it does not support 4G in Ireland?
Excellent – looking at buying it this evening – will report back on how I get on.
Got the phone and works perfect- would highly recommend. Have been a staunch iPhone user for the last few years but this has been a great choice!
I found the easiest way was to order from http://www.clove.co.uk – they ship to Ireland next day and no messing about with p.o. boxes.
What english mobile phone number did you use because it's not allowing me to us my Irish one.
Hi Richard,
I think Google must have added that you must have a valid UK phone number to the checkout procedure. Were you asked for a UK mobile / landline at the time of ordering?
Miss M 14th January 2014 at 9:46 am
Hi Richard, quick one… have you or are you considering insuring your phone? I had my Nexus 4 swipped on me and now that I have the Nexus 5 I want to cover myself incase it happens. I'm not sure if it will be covered if Im not with an Irish provider on paper. (?!?)
James FitzGerald 23rd January 2014 at 7:40 pm
The Nexus 5 is available from 3 in Ireland from Monday! €439 prepay or free on billpay (€40.66/month for 24 months). Looks like a good phone for the price!
Hey Richard
I got a friend to get me a N5 from the states and send it over. Because it's an american model is it pretty unlikely i'll be able to use 4G in Ireland?
[…] for a couple of years, and have written in the past about getting my hands on a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 5 before they were available in Ireland. And like of lot of other fans, I was quite excited to learn […]
How about ordering a N5 from Amazon UK on UK contract, get it delivered via parcel motel to Ireland. I should be able to unlock it upon receiving it.

Pale Platters
Over pale ales, I sat ready.
So many things I wanted to tell you, too many I could not say.
I wanted, needed to protect.
You gave me answers, the ones I had prepared myself for.
Another round and some kind of platter, we were still laughing.
Looking at you smile, hearing your uncertainties about love and so on.
I knew building a friendship with you was more important then forcing a romance.
Leave a Reply.
At the end of the day, I'm just a girl who has been in love with writing her entire life. I am full of quirks, anxieties, fears, joys, laughter. And all I have wanted to do was give the world a smile.

When you are approved for a personal loan, the lender will give you all the details such as the interest rates and related fees. Although payday loan lenders do not report you to the credit bureaus, you should be careful and be prompt in your repayment so that you can establish a good relationship with your lender.
This way, should you need another personal loan in the future, you could negotiate a better rate with your lender.

I have no idea why they have called this a messenger bag when it is clearly an oversized clutch with an optional shoulder strap. Nevertheless, here is the Miu Miu Quilted Suede Messenger Bag which is clearly getting fall on our minds. First off I love the color aubergine, which is the French word for eggplant. Deep purple hues are a great way to opt for a handbag that adds a pop of color that is wearable for many occasions, going with blacks, browns, and blues. My gripe with suede is how hard it is to keep clean, which is somewhat non important for a clutch this dark, but you still have to be aware that suede wears quickly. The quilting adds a nice dimension as well, along with the fold-over flap and internal pocket. I like this bag, but I don't love it. I'd prefer it less East-West with a larger body. I am still excited fall is coming!
Buy through Net A Porter for $695.

During the visit, Foreign Minister Marapana held a meeting with Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade of Kenya Ambassador Dr. Monica Juma, where discussions focused on further strengthening relations between the two countries.
The Foreign Minister appreciated Kenya's support and that of the region to Sri Lanka's candidature at the recently concluded elections for the UNESCO Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) for the term 2018-2022, where Sri Lanka obtained 122 votes. The Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade endorsed the need to collaborate closely as regional groupings to achieve common positions that benefit and strengthen the global footprint of the South.
In response to a request made by the Kenyan Cabinet Secretary to increase investments and value addition in the Coconut sector, Minister Marapana agreed to assist the Kenyan Coconut Industry with technology from Sri Lanka. The two Ministers agreed to convene the Second Joint Trade Committee to review, revitalise and broaden cooperation in the area of trade including increasing the arrivals of tourists from both countries.
The Cabinet Secretary appreciated the Presidential Scholarships offered by Sri Lanka to Kenyan students. She invited Sri Lankan athletes to avail themselves of the training facilities in Kenya and requested Sri Lankan assistance in improving Cricket in Kenya.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs informed that the Government of Sri Lanka would take note and assist in the areas requested. An invitation was extended to the Cabinet Secretary to visit Sri Lanka.
Foreign Minister Marapana also held a meeting with Director General Tony Simons and Deputy Director General (Research) Ravi Prabhu of the World Agro Forestry Centre (ICRAF) in Nairobi. The Minister was briefed on the technical support already provided by the Agro Forestry Centre and proposed future projects in Sri Lanka. The Minister requested for assistance in setting up research facilities to find resilient rice varieties suitable for Sri Lanka's changing climate conditions. The Director General emphasised the need to establish a longstanding partnership with Sri Lanka in research-based utilization of trees to make farming and livelihood more environmently, socially and economically sustainable at multiple scales.
The Minister was accompanied by a delegation comprised of Sri Lanka's High Commissioner to Kenya Sunil De Silva, Deputy High Commissioner Anzul Jhan and Private Secretary to the Minister Janaka Marapana.

Stone Dominoes 1
Curzon Ashton 3
IT may seem harsh to be critical of any team that goes away from home and comes back with three points, but when your hosts have a goal deficit of 54 and you witness what can only be described as woeful finishing, there is no other way of reporting on such an event.
Curzon should have been well on the way to double figures as they had Dominoes pinned inside their half for so much of the game that it became, perhaps, all too easy.
Early on, Paul Garvey shot wide and Steve Moores was twice denied by Richard Stone, who then thwarted Mike Norton and Nick Allen.
As the half-hour approached, John Worsley was the next Curzon player to squander a chance when he lifted the ball over the onrushing Stone, but also over the bar.
Stone then stopped efforts from Norton and Moores before Curzon took the lead in the second minute of injury time when Norton headed home Dave Birch's cross.
Curzon doubled their lead early in the second half when, after Moores' run earned a corner, Stone failed to clear their lines and Norton was upended by Byrne, Moores driving the penalty past Stone.
The anticipated avalanche of goals failed to materialise as Norton hit the post, the rebound striking Stone on the head before being cleared, before Andy Watson headed wide of an open goal from 18 yards.
Stone's legs saved Moores' shot before Dominoes reduced their arrears within a minute as Andy Matthews headed a free-kick past David Carnell.
Moores' shot was tipped onto the bar and Liam Shirley fired over from four yards before Curzon's third came with 15 minutes left as Moores' low drive found the right-hand side of goal.

Fast-moving game show meets talk show, which sees Frank Skinner refereeing three celebrities each week as they compete to banish their top peeve or worst nightmare to the depths of Room 101. The show's format was given a complete revamp when Frank Skinner became the new keeper in 2012. Instead of the original Room 101 format, three guests were on each show. The show was divided into a number of categorised rounds, into which each guest would nominate something they hated from in that category. They would then argue about why they felt their nominated item should go into Room 101, at the end of which Skinner would choose from all the nominations. At the end of each show, the guest Skinner felt had argued the best would be allowed to put any object into Room 101 unchallenged.

Goal setting. Because it sure helps to know where you want to go to really get there.
Goal Setting. Because it's critical to know where you want to go in order to get there. Start by writing down what it is you want to do. Then, identify where your goals connect to your money, and vice versa.
Really. It's that simple.
That's because your personal goals and your financial goals are related. Like, really close relatives.
- Say for example, you write down that you want to travel. That's your personal goal.
- So what's your financial goal to get there? You might write down 'Save Money.'
- Or 'Save $500 dollars for that trip.' Just put the two together in whatever way that works for you.
And remember, your goals may be different from other people's goals. There's no right or wrong when it comes to goals. Everybody's different. You may have more short-term goals than long-term goals. Somebody else may have the opposite. There's no one best way to create goals. They're yours.
Just start today and you'll be on your way to where you want to go.
Simple Starting Today Tip:
Write down your goals and put them where you can see them, like the fridge. That makes it easier to work toward them, because they're always in front of you.
So now you have it. Your very own list of what's important to you. Now it's time to see how you can get to where you want to go!

An alumnus of the University of Lagos and Chairman Inducon Nigeria Limited, Dr. John Abebe has urged Nigerians on the higher rungs of the social ladder to reach out to the less-privileged by contributing to their emancipation and the nation's development.
Abebe, a former President of the Nigeria Cricket Federation, was one of the recipients at the "2017 Distinguished Alumni Awards and Celebration of UNILAG at 55'' organised by the Alumni Association of the University of Lagos last weekend at the Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island.
The UNILAG Alumni President, Dr Sunny Kuku, had in his welcome address said that the awards took cognizance of those who contributed to the growth of the university in the past.
Expressing his feelings about the award, Abebe said that he was humbled by the recognition he got for using personal funds to sponsor cricket competitions across the country, donate cricket kits and equipment to the National Cricket Teams and many schools.
Abebe also ran the Nigeria Cricket Federation between 2011 and 2005 as President without government funding and single-handedly sponsored the national team on international training tours and competitions.
"One has been associated with the promotion, the sponsorship and funding of Cricket in Nigeria for the past forty years without really expecting any recognition and praises. As for one's activities in the Old boys Association of St Gregory's College, I really didn't think it would be noticed and commented upon by my university alma mater. So I thank God for it," he said.
Abebe, who is the President of the St. Gregory's College Old Boys Association, said he contributed to cricket and his alma mater because he enjoyed doing so.
He said that the award would spur him to do more, adding that he had always advocated that government alone should not be allowed to handle everything about education.
"Nigerians should learn to give back to the society that has made them what they are," said Abebe.
The Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, who was the special guest at the event, congratulated the awardees, saying that their achievements were worthy of celebration and such had indeed emanated from a great institution.
"I would like to thank everyone, and to hope that when we celebrate our 60th you will all be here. And we will all be here to celebrate the 70th and 80th and 100th as well for the young ones amongst us,'' he said.
Chike-Obi; Chairman, Niger Delta Development Commission, Sen Ndoma Egba; and Majority Leader, House of Representatives, and Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila.

U.S. Investigative Agency reveals their modern way to track suspects.
On Thursday, a released report detailed the extensive multiple police records that LA and Massachusetts law prosecutions use to track suspects. The archives of information that police use during inquiries are shared with an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) – the Homeland Security Investigations. ICE reps claimed that the software they utilize is useful for data mining.
Data mining is also known as knowledge discovery. Information is being analyzed and converted it into judgment. It includes reporting and investigation.
Opposedly, many privacy, immigration as well as civil liberties proponents query the preciseness of the software and usage of information for surveillance. The agency uses the COPLINK service for data mining that integrates information from multifarious police records. It enables law enforcement to classify and stream them during a probe.
Law enforcers are able to ransack on the massive amounts of information on people with or without convictions. Through data mining, authorities can check on country of origin, complexion, race, eye color, tattoos, ethnicity, and other notable marks. Once the person is selected from the data mining archives, police can categorize and disclose an individual's "association data."
The data are details of other people connected with the person being investigated. Through data mining, investigators have the privilege to outline the life of the "person of interest." The gathered information will show his circle of friends, family, associates, organizations and even vehicles.
Some people perceive this practice of law enforcers a violation of human rights. Personal information should be kept confidential especially if the individual has no criminal records. Software for data mining cannot be trusted and at times not precise.
The Decenternet network does not treat its users as criminals. The system is designed to secure and protect one's identity. It does not distribute personal data without consent, unlike any other networks.

Freedman dance…
Walking slowly up the hill was an average sized man with a nice coat on.
He pushed his way past the picknickers, bumbled past the cloud watchers, stumbled his way past lovebirds to the top of the hill. Standing there for some time he seemed as if a statue. His stare pierced the abyss of sunshine and cloud above him. The sun's blinding rays were no match for this one man's determined stare.
The man stuck his hand in the air and began to wave it about as if conducting some ethereal orchestra or feeling the curves of the winds body.
"I've done it!" This cry of accomplishment seemed to well from his soul and force it's way out of his lips to the surprise of everybody on the hill.
One of the lovebirds looked away from his other and asked the man, "You've done what?"
"I've touched the sky and stood on the ground. I've felt the wind caress my hand like a lover. Impossibility ends. The doors of perception have been opened and I see eternity streached out. Ican't see it all but I know it goes on forever. I follow the road and the end result is impossibility. Beautiful impossibility made possible."
"You are mad!" Said the lovebird with such intensity the air seemed to be crackling with it. "Their are no doors, or roads, or eternity. Their is nothing beyond this and that."
"Freedman dance in jubilation. I see now that I can dance with them. Innocence is mine. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gratefulness, and self control are mine. I come to his arms with childlike wonder and he accepts me with forgiving grace."
Then the man proceeded to roll down the hill. When he got to the bottom he stood up, suddenly rigid and stern, then let his body relaxed and screamed at the top of his lungs "I have been forgiven and Jesus has saved me. I rejoice in him because he has made me clean."
The man went on his way gladly and soon died thereafter.
CommentsOne Response to "Freedman dance…"
Wow. That is amazing. I think my day just got a little bit better.

Flirtation Walk by Siri Mitchell {book review}
Historical fiction set at West Point military academy in 1855. A story of honor, deception, and love.
Summary: At West Point, only true love should lead you to Flirtation Walk
Lucinda Pennyworth, the daughter of a con man, is trying her best to leave her father's sordid past behind her. When he dies unexpectedly, she takes the opportunity to move to West Point to live with her aunt, ready to take on a new life and determined to marry a respectable man, a West Point cadet, to impress her relatives.
Scott Westcott, a cadet at the Academy, is proud to be a the top of his senior class. But when his mother dies and his sister loses their inheritance to a swindler, Seth wants nothing more than to head west to track down the con man. But the Army will only send the cadets at the bottom of the class to the frontier… which leaves Seth with some tough choices.
When a woman trying her best to be good meets a man determined to be anything but, can there be hope for love or will two lonely hearts be condemned to casual flirtation?
My Reaction:
I didn't really like this book for one reason: God was optional.
That usually indicates the author's theology. That's not to say the author doesn't believe in God and have a personal relationship with Him. It is to say the author does not believe God is central to all areas of life — however, this isn't meant to be a lesson in theology. I just don't agree with the author's viewpoint of life. And therefore the story is lost.
The book is easy to read. There is a dual point of view, beautifully, seamlessly done. The story is character driven, making for a weak plot. A strong story of faith would make up for the lack of plot.
It's difficult to comment without giving away the story. The idea of a cadet at the top of his class choosing to do what he did is far fetched. But more than being unbelievable, though well-written, and because it is well-written, it is difficult to read. I don't know about you, but I gain more from reading stories that teach truth, not error.
I found the prevalence of sinful habits, the use of contraband, while it may be realistic in a military academy, to outweigh the positive acts. Perhaps, as the author mentions, it would be well to develop this book into a series in order for balancing the good and the bad.
My favorite character was Otter. Somehow he managed (next to the historic character Major Lee) to have more integrity and honor through the influence of his mother than the other characters combined.
I was disappointed by this book. It is clean but there are references to activities which are left to the reader's imagination, in keeping with the theme of being a con artist. There are too many gray areas in the story for me between right and wrong.
At no point in the reading did I feel an emotion other than anger at the injustice. If you want to learn about West Point, I recommend this book. If you're looking for an uplifting story, encourage the author to write a sequel.
My rating: 2 stars
I received my copy of Flirtation Walk from the publisher in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.
About the Author:
Siri Mitchell graduated from the University of Washington with a business degree and worked in various levels of government. As a military spouse, she has lived all over the world, including Paris and Tokyo. Siri enjoys observing and learning from different cultures. She is fluent in French and loves sushi.
But she is also a member of a strange breed of people called novelists. When they're listening to a speaker and taking notes, chances are, they've just had a great idea for a plot or a dialogue. If they nod in response to a really profound statement, they're probably thinking, "Yes. Right. That's exactly what my character needs to hear." When they edit their manuscripts, they laugh at the funny parts. And cry at the sad parts. Sometimes they even talk to their characters.
Siri wrote 4 books and accumulated 153 rejections before signing with a publisher. In the process, she saw the bottoms of more pints of Ben & Jerry's than she cares to admit. At various times she has vowed never to write another word again. Ever. She has gone on writing strikes and even stooped to threatening her manuscripts with the shredder.
You may wish to visit Siri Mitchell's website or connect with her on Facebook and Twitter @SiriMitchell .

These were good by virtue of being man bars, but by way of Oreo-ness, they were nothing special. I couldn't really tell the Oreos were in there. Must remake recipe with way more Oreos.
"They are meowsome…you can cuddle with them"
26 Oreos
3/4 c Almohaditas Crujientes (a.k.a. one of my substitutes for graham crackers – you could also use 1/2 c of graham cracker crumbs)
6 crunchy Quaker oatmeal & granola cookies
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/3 c powdered sugar
Grind the cookies/cereal into crumbs in a food processor, doing the Oreos separately so that you can leave them partially chunky. Deposit crumbs into a bowl with the salt and chocolate chips, and stir to combine.
Add the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla. Stir until it's 100% incorporated. Eat some of the batter because it honestly tastes better uncooked than it does cooked. I need to figure out how to turn this into a dip.
Bake in a very well-buttered 8×8-inch brownie pan at "medium" for around 25 minutes. When it's done, the edges will be golden but not burned.
Let cool, slice, and cover with powdered sugar.

Chainmail seemed to be a perfect candidate for yesterday's photo hint 'mail'. This lot was at the battle of Bosworth museum and would have been worn by the soldiers fighting amongst the rabble. Image lumbering round with this lot on your back? Not for the faint hearted!
Today's hint is 'breakfast' and as I don't eat in the mornings, I thought I would just photograph one of my favourite films instead with the word in the title hehe. Cheesy as they are, I love the 80's brat pack movies and this one is the best in my opinion. So much so that my sister and I have so many quotes from it that we regularly use in our normal speech pattern.
Yesterday's summer journal prompt was: "A character on TV once said 'You can never have enough shoes, gloves or handbags'. What is your opinion?"
I think Andy Warhol said something about never having too many shoes, but I'm afraid I don't share his opinion. I have a few pairs of shoes, a pair for when it is is really cold and rainy, 2 pairs for the sunshine, my wellies and my 'mucky' shoes for painting/gardening in. That is all. They are all practical but still pretty and get used regularly. I have never owned a pair that don't get used as I think it is totally unnecessary and a waste of money. Everybody has their 'thing' that they like though, so fair play to anybody with a penchant for feet holders. It's just not me, nor are the gloves, I have one pair. The female side of my whole family seem to have an obsession with handbags, my mum and gran have so so many but prefer to use mainly just one in particular but again, that's not me. I have a bag that I love and use that to death until it falls apart. Then I try and stitch it up or mend it in anyway I can until it's Christmas and I may get a new one.
"List 5 trees that grow within half a mile of your home"
English Oak (a fair few acorns have been collected from this one), Ash, Aspen (these remind me of caterpillars), Elm and Crab apple. I think these are the names anyway, I am no tree surgeon though so may be wrong. I associate them with certain characteristics. Oak is the acorns, Ash is the non singular leaves, Aspen is the caterpillar one, Elm is the oval leaved one with coarse bark and the Crab apple is the one with the obvious little fruits. Anybody more in the know than me please feel free to correct me as I am probably wrong 🙂

This is something about the delectable chocolate covered almond.
Maybe it's the way it melts in your mouth as you suck on it. Or when your teeth gently bite down and the thick chocolate slowly gives way to the healthy part of the treat.
Maybe it's the crunchy almond and chocolate mixture as you savor each and every piece.
Either way. I love these tasty little morsels of chocolate goodness.
It really doesn't take much to excite me 😉 As you can tell.
Hmmm … chocolate covered almonds. They appear to be a favorite of mine. What would it take for me to share?
Guess you'll have to wait until next week when The Master is released 😉

ATC's - a "Remarkable" cardmaking idea
February 19, 2017
What is an ATC??
An ATC is an Artist's Trading Card.
What's the point?
Well, of course you remember footy trading cards and Pokemon trading cards, and Zoo Animal trading cards and all the rest of the different cards that supermarkets now put out there for kids to collect and swap - but WHAT has that got to do with Artists and why would they want to swap tiny cards?
Well, the very simple and short answer is it's a way for Artists to share techniques, colour schemes, new products in a miniature artwork designed to inspire and challenge them.
What have ATC's got to do with Stampin' Up!?
My wider Stampin' Up! team has an ATC swap each month and with around 15 people participating, and a set theme each month, it means we have a great way to inspire each other to look at our SU products in different ways, try new techniques, step outside our comfort zone on a colour scheme etc and after swapping, we end up with 15 miniature artworks done by other demonstrators, to keep in an inspiration album for future reference - like when our mojo has gone on holiday and we need a creativity boost.
January's theme was Paper Piecing Technique - a theme which was definitely not new to me - I like fussy cutting! But it was a good technique to get ones teeth into to use our Stampin' Up! stamp sets with.
I decided on "Remarkable You" stamp set - because the images are nice and big and chunky, making them easy to cut out - remember, I needed to do 15!
I teemed it with the gorgeous Cupcakes and Carousel's Designer Series Paper Stack because of the fine details in the paper.
I started by stamping the image in Archival Black onto the background layer, and onto the pieces that would be cut out for the paper piecing part of the technique.
Then I used our Stampin' Up! Blender Pens with a tiny bit of ink from the lid of the Bermuda Bay ink pad to darken some of the shadow areas of the stamped images.
Next I did a little collage stamping onto the background layer - leaves and words to add depth and interest, and then cut out the flowers from the bluer paper and adhered it over the background layer.
I'm very proud of these! They're very Arty! And I'm really happy with the way they turned out.
This current month's theme is stamping, not using a stamp!! I haven't come up with anything yet - this could get messy!
