I would like week 46 thanks.

Original calendar in case you can't read the dates under the names! (http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/6348/yearyearoriginalvi3.jpg)

[Ned]

I want week 18!

And I bet Morea will take 38... :D

[urstwile]

I'll take week 49.

[cornfed]

I want week #6! (Feb. 4th-10th)

[Drazan]

Week 14

[Kool]

Nice Buda, I'll take week #41.

You're gonna need to cross off the weeks taken somehow so people can see what's still available. http://home.comcast.net/~rnick9/koolsmiley.gif

[budafist]

Good point Kool. I'll try and update the calendar with names at least once a day.

[Ned]

Not to be picky, Buda, but for those weeks that span two months, you should block out the week on both ends. :D

[budafist]

You just wanted your name on there twice didn't you Ned? Megalomaniac that you are :D

[Ned]

I'm still working on how I can get my name on there three times.

Any way you could replace May with Ned? I mean, they're both 3 letter words, right? :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

week 26 please ;)

[budafist]

Well, while I'm at it I might as well rename a couple of the other months. Nedruary, Nedpril, Ned, Nedly, Nedgust, Nedtober, Nedvember....You get the picture...

Mind you guys, there's nothing stopping you from renaming your month on your own page!

[Ned]

Nothing, except morals, of course... :D

[Ned]

... oh, which does bring me to another question... Are we going to have a template for the dates area, so that it remains consistent throughout the calendar?

[Kool]

... oh, which does bring me to another question... Are we going to have a template for the dates area, so that it remains consistent throughout the calendar?

I would say no, but they would need to be on there fairly visible. :D

[Ned]

We don't need no steeenkin' dates! ;D

[budafist]

I think with something this big it is a good idea to have a general template for the dates. If it were only a 12 page calendar, it would be fine to have individuals design their own date design, but say you want to find a date quickly, by flicking through, it would be a pain in the A** to have to decipher each page. I want to scan dates quickly y'know?

Sometimes people get all tricky with their dates going diagonally across the page, or in a spiral into the middle etc. Perhaps we have a thread where people vote in the general layout. example. dates across the top of the page. The rest of the page is free reign of the designer. Same place on the page for dates, but the fonts are up to you.

If your design screams to burst out of this format, then I think it is ok to have a few that break out. In my head I'm imagining an old fashioned phone dial as the weekly calendar....

[Ned]

I think at least the overall dimensions of the date section vs. the image section should be consistent, even though we decorate it however we please...

As you say, for functionality... I'm sure they'll all come out looking drastically different and creative, nonetheless, but still perfectly useable...

[budafist]

Just fearing for the worse - last year's calendar we had in our office, 2 of the months (it was a 6 page calendar) had the dates scattered in no particular order on the page! Totally useless for figuring out deadlines and dates etc. Pretty, but useless!

[Samakimoto Graphics]

Week Twelve (12) please.:)

Happens to be my birthday week :D .

[Ned]

Can I change my week to week 19, Buda?

I notice that week starts a new moon, and ends in a half. I know, I'm weird, but I like the energy that gives me. :D

I thought that was the type of calendar all designers used. ;)

<if I keep this up, I'll have enough bricks for that new patio I have to build in the spring.>

[Samakimoto Graphics]

*drops a ton of bricks on PD*

That should build you a patio and a tomb...

[Kool]

We can vote on whether to use a template or not, no big deal.

As I said in my other thread, there's really no reason to do any further planning until we hear from Jupitermedia whether we can even do this project.

[morea]

lol, you guys are nuts. I was wondering... can we get a picture of what a basic one of these calendars looks like? I can't recall ever seening a weekly calendar before.

["Technical" Terry]

May I have week 25?

[morea]

lol, I love that Ned volunteered me for pirate week. Yarr.

[vtwin_gary]

week 5 for me please

[mac.FINN]

Is there a basic theme or central idea around this calendar or is it just a free for all?

edit: nevermind, I found the original thread.
btw for anyone who is interested and doesn't know what's up (like me), read this: http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=24234

[PrintDriver]

Morea, you've never seen those 'Week at a Glance' calendars?

Sakimoto, thank you for the bricks by the way. LOL!

[Virgo Nightingale]

If I may, if I might... have week #36??

[mac.FINN]

Shotgun 33!

[Red Kittie Kat]

Is everyone picking their birthday week? I had to since I was born on the 26th week on the 26th day ... I just had to :D

[cornfed]

I picked the week of Mardi Gras, Kittie! I thought it only fitting since I'm in Louisiana.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Very fitting CF :D

[mac.FINN]

I just picked a random week. I thought it was only fitting since I'm not in Louisiana.

[vtwin_gary]

i picked groundhog day week & figured if my birthday week was a leftover i'd pick it up in the end. oh my daughters birthday is in the same week as gh-day so that was a plus.

[budafist]

I'm picking my birthday week. If we get second rounds, then it will get interesting....It looks like there might be second rounds. I think we only allocate second rounds once the designs have been completed for the first round. Otherwise we might bite off more than we can chew!

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao Mac :D

Ever the comedian you are :D

[WannaBrie]

could I have week 33? Its my bday week. I am still unsure of the size and general look of this thing, can someone fill me in?

[Ned]

You mean the size for you, or the one for everybody else? ;)

[budafist]

mac.FINN, since you claim you picked a random week, can WannaBrie have it for her birthday? I won't do any swapping around unless you agree since it was first in first served.

[balou]

I'll hop in...

I'll take week #8 which happens to include International Pancake Day on the 20th and the 19th I discovered is "Spunky Old Broads Day". Coincidence? I think not. ;)

[mac.FINN]

Sure buda,

WannaBrie can have that week. I will now randomly generate a new week choice...30!

Any if anyone really wants that week, when then you can just freakin' ask me nicely!

[morea]

here is a list of bizarre, oddball holidays for 2007 - note - many of the ones near the end of the year were unavailable when I looked them up... they should be added to the list soon.

SO since we're doing the calendar for 2008, not 2007, I'd recommend you google the name of the holiday and see if you can find the date it falls on in 2008.

But it's a starting point, anyway.


Jan 29 - Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day

Feb 2 - Wear Red Day
Feb 15 - Burger Lovers Day
Feb 28 - International Pancake Day

March 7 - Learn What Your Name Means Day
March 9 - Nametag Day

Dec 15 - Cat Herders Day

[morea]

I'll do Pirate Day week, (the 38th) but if it's taken or if we need to do more than one week, I would also take Cat Herder's Week (which would be week 51)

[Ned]

Argh, Matey! That is a fine, choice... for a scallywag!

[balou]

Well, one site says Intl Pancake day is on the 20th, one says it's the 28th. Since Moreas list also says the 28th, I'll switch my week then to #9 instead of #8.

[WannaBrie]

Mac, I am so sorry. I didn't see your post requesting that week. I just looked at the calendar thingy and not the relevant/subsequent posts. Thank you for giving up your first choice.

[fredrich]

Well, one site says Intl Pancake day is on the 20th, one says it's the 28th. Since Moreas list also says the 28th, I'll switch my week then to #9 instead of #8.

What is this pancake day thing? I don't get it...

[Ned]

It's the day in which you eat pancakes, merely for the sake of eating pancakes.

[balou]

"pancake" is the default if someone tries to type the f word in here. So when someone discovered International Pancake Day, well, it just has a whole different meaning here in the GDF world. ;)

Ned is pulling your pancaking leg. :D

[morea]

Fredrick - "National Pancake Day" is also known as "Shrove Tuesday", and here is the actual information from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrove_Tuesday

The reason it gets so many giggles here on GDF is because when the boards first started, "pancake" is the word that was automatically substituted by our old forum software in place of a certain versatile four-letter swearword (that rhymes with "duck", if you know what I mean.

It is still used today (although it has to be typed in manually) to keep the tradition alive. People will say things like "what the pancake?"

Actually, there are lots of odd "inside jokes" that have developed here over the years... and most of them are explained in this thread: so, can someone explain... (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20842)

Global Orgasm Day (http://www.globalorgasm.org/)


;)

[morea]

what's an orgam? :D

[Ned]

I just fixed that as you were posting, Mo. :D

[balou]

OK. So now I see on Wiki that in 2008 it is on Feb 5th. I didn't realize it coincides with Mardi Gras.

Argh.

I'll still keep week #9 though since it has Feb 29th in it.

[Ned]

Well duh... When else do you eat pancakes? :D

Seriously, I used to always celebrate Fat Tuesday, when living in the Keys... We've even got a world famous bar in Key West, by the name of Fat Tuesday...

Aah, makes a bit more sense to me now. Thought pancake was a bad customer or something, that "jerked your chain". ;)

I am a huge fan of this pancake...or the wearer. No it's not my Sharmi bun bun. :p

Now that you mention it balou, the pancake looks like's trying to kiss me.

[Virgo Nightingale]

The 'lips' remind me of Audrey II.

FEED ME, SEYMOUR!! FEED ME ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

[Element_13]

I would love to sign up for week 33 please. It is amazing to see a great community like GDF giving back.

[mac.FINN]

Okay what the hell?!

I give up week 33 so WannaBrie can have her birthday now, Element 13 has it?

That's a popular week.

[Element_13]

Sorry about that. I wanted that week due to my birthday being in that week also. Didn't see anyones name on the calendar so I thought it was still open. I will gladly give it up if someone else has dibs on it. Please sign me up for week 24 then please. Thanks.

[morea]

don't mind Mac. He just got up on the wrong side of Toronto this morning. :D

[mac.FINN]

Holy Crap, I'm in Scarborough!

[Element_13]

Well looks like i woke up on the good side of Toronto then. I'm in St.Catharines. LOL. So which week do I have?

[Quirk]

this is a really awesome idea. i belong to this other forum that is constantly trying to collaborate, but they usually never get anything done...

you guys seriously rock.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I think Bries name got dropped off the calendar ... that's it 100 lashes with a wet noodle for buda :D

[G-Man79]

I'll take Week 32!

[budafist]

I think Bries name got dropped off the calendar ... that's it 100 lashes with a wet noodle for buda :D

Sorry all! Lapse in concentration. By the way, who's wet noodle am I getting lashed with?!?

[WannaBrie]

So do I need to pick a new week, then?

[Ned]

By the way, who's wet noodle am I getting lashed with?!?

Trust me.. It's best if you don't know. :D

[budafist]

No Brie, you get the week you want. Nothing to worry about here.

Ned, is it really better left to the imagination??

[Ned]

I suppose that depends on how bad your imagination is. ;) Do you easily make yourself shudder?

[dadedesigns]

Week 22 please?

[prepress_goddess]

I'll take week eight! my b-day week!

[budafist]

I suppose that depends on how bad your imagination is. ;) Do you easily make yourself shudder?

Why yes I do. Now what?

[Virgo Nightingale]

Wow, January is quite the unloved month....

[budafist]

Some do Jan then!

[Danger_Mouse]

Can I have Week 2?

[Ned]

Danger Mouse, to the rescue again! :D

[budafist]

Woot! Ever the hero :)

[Danger_Mouse]

:d...

[resdog]

Choice #1: Week 52
Choice #2 (if #1 is taken): Week 4

[CamarotaDesign]

Buda,

Can I get week 39?

September 23rd is John Coltrane, I think that should be an official Holiday :)

[balou]

bump.

[budafist]

Hmmm....I feel like we're a bit stuck now. Should I be ordering the cases or something so that we can confirm we're doing this?

[urstwile]

Hmm, that might be a good idea. Is the calendar on the first post up to date?

[Drazan]

btw- if we end up doubling up on weeks my second choice week is the #11th also my b-day week. The current week chosen is speical for a friend of mine and I want to honor that.

[budafist]

What is the general opinion on how we are going to pay for these calendar cases?

Maybe this should be a new thread...

[urstwile]

If doubling up needs to start happen, I can also take week 7 (husband's birthday week) in addition to week 49 (my birthday week). :)

Buda, why not PM Kool and see what he suggests in terms of that, he seems to have a pretty good handle on how this should be organized for things to go smoothly. Wasn't there a separate thread for the case choices already? Or am I just :confused: .

[budafist]

I think that we should chose second round only when we have completed our first one. That way we don't bite off more than we can chew and any new people can have more 1st choice.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Is there a deadline on choosing firsts?

[urstwile]

Good thinking Buda. I will stick with my first choice, and then use my second if need be later on (and it's still open:) ).

[budafist]

No deadline on choosing firsts.

Should we have a gallery of entries as we go? Or should it be a suprise only to be unvielled at the end?

Maybe we aim to finish our firsts in 1 month's time - say March 15. If you finish your first design before then, you can start on your second of course!

There are 23 of us entered now. Perhaps some of us want to do another week or perhaps some of us don't and some new people enter. If we get 2 designs each done by end of April I think it should be ok for print after that etc.

[Red Kittie Kat]

I would like to see them as we go :D


but that's just me I am nosey like that ;)

[urstwile]

That schedule sounds very reasonable to me, Buda.

Since the case seems to have been decided upon, anyway of getting specs for the size?

Also, if there's anything I can do to help in managing the project, please feel free to let me know, PM would be best, as I sometimes miss threads. :)

[budafist]

New thread for sizing. (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?p=352386#post352386)

Didn't want to pressure anyone into too short deadlines - this is supposed to be fun! Sometimes it's hard to be creative under deadlines too tight. 1 month means you have a week to think about it, a week to procrastinate, a week to bang it out and a week to showcase it for crit (if you want) and revisions.

Thanks for the offer Urst. Just jump in if you feel like anything needs doing :)

[JaCkinbOx]

Did anyone call week 10 yet? If not, hi-o! I'll take week 10.

[Drorain]

if they are still available could I take week 18 (golden week in japan) or the 6th week (chinese new year) otherwise some random week if those two are filled

[MyST]

Could I have week 43, please?

[budafist]

I can't edit my first post, so this is the latest version of sign up. Mods - if you can replace the first sign up image with this one, please do! Cheers!

http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/9108/yearyearqc3.jpg

[Red Kittie Kat]

Ok buda it's added to the front page as well :)

[Virgo Nightingale]

Since we are picking second weeks, I'd like week 18 please...

Edit: Drorain has picked week 18 but it wasn't marked on the first half of the week in April. I'll think up another week in a minute.

[Kool]

We're not picking second weeks yet Virgo, We'll have a separate pick thread for that. :)

[Annie Social]

Okay, I'll sign up for week 44... Halloween seems somehow appropriate!

[frankster]

could i have week 7? Do you have a deadline for this yet? I might be emmigrating again in the next month, so if it's soon then I won't put myself down. Should know in the next couple of days if we're staying in the US or moving on.

[mattmainster]

Is week 50 still open for the taking?

If so, I want it. :D

[budafist]

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4415/yearyearvm8.jpg

[AbiJ]

Can I take week 34? Are we still talking about a 15th March deadline?

[Kool]

No that march 15 deadline is too soon, we will post a new deadline later but it will be in April sometime.

[frankster]

No that march 15 deadline is too soon, we will post a new deadline later but it will be in April sometime.

Thank crap for that! I'd have had to back out, cos we're packing up the computer I use for design in the next few days and it'll be in shipping for 5 weeks or so. I'll have access to an older version of photoshop on my mates computer when we get back to the UK though, so seeing as you're ok with 300dpi raster images I can still get my page done. Grrrr, visas suck!

[Kool]

No worries Frankster, you take all the time you need.

I'll let ya know before I send my goons out to collect it. ;)

[WannaBrie]

Kool, I'm confused...Buda's calendar showed week #33 as being the 11th thru the 17th, but your list says wk 33 is the 10-16, my bday falls on the 17th and that's why I chose that week...?:confused:

[budafist]

Oh crap, it's the whole Sunday/Monday is the start of the week thing isn't it?

[budafist]

...and how come week 1 is missing from the list Kool?

[WannaBrie]

I figured it was some kind of "what day does the week start on" confusion! Ahhh and I didn 't even notice the absence of one! No one's picked new yrs week? no one wants to do a week full of champagne and party hats and resolutions??? oh and that one night of praying to the porcelain god? :eek:

[budafist]

LOL! There was no porcelain god for me this past New Years. Does that mean I didn't celebrate it properly?

[WannaBrie]

Well, me neither, buda, in fact, I've spent the last 7 new years at home with my little boy, but I remember that's how I used to spend new years! Ah, life before kids... this past year Liam (my son) and I made hats out of construction paper and toasted to kool aid (mine did have a spike of vodka, though!) and danced around the living room to his favorite cd... (the all american rejects-which I've only listened to like 40,000 times! ) we fell asleep about 10 mins after the ball dropped... At least I can honestly say I have remembered the last 7 new years!

[Kool]

...and how come week 1 is missing from the list Kool?

Eh, who needs it. I once left July 24th & 25th off a calender too and nobody caught it until after printing. Boy did I feel dumb.

[Red Kittie Kat]

No need to panic .. give him a chance to get on and answer ladies :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

scratch that .. there he is :D

[WannaBrie]

so back to the topic, though, what day does our week start on?

[budafist]

Was there a vote on that already? I think I remember Sunday being the choice for 1st day of week.

[Kool]

It starts on Sunday Brie. I don't know what to say about your week. Why don't you PM AbiJ and ask him if you can trade.

[ronin_wolf]

howdy.

i humbly request Week # 23 1-Jun to 7-Jun, if it's alright with the powers [mods] that be.

danke.

[Ned]

Oh crap, it's the whole Sunday/Monday is the start of the week thing isn't it?

Boy, you Kiwis are WEIRD! :D

[WannaBrie]

ok, that's fine, I guess I didn't understand the day start issue, i was going by the calendar image, ...I feel bad because i asked Mac to choose another week...(sorry Mac!)...I'll stick with what I got...no biggie...I'll go by kool's list if there's another round (hopefully we will have more signups though!! )

[budafist]

Boy, you Kiwis are WEIRD! :D

I prefer the term unique :)

[mac.FINN]

fine you uniques are WEIRD!

No worries Brie, it was just a random week to me.

[captain spanky]

WOW ...how in the name of all that is good and slightly wierd looking did i miss all this?
Can i sign up to join in?

I haven't had time to read all the threads about this ...but...

will it cost me owt? if so, how much?
Can i do two weeks? (week 35 in aug and week 51 in dec perhaps?) if not just 35 will do for me pleeeeeeeease.
when do you need the designs by?
:D

[mac.FINN]

Pick a week cap'n (there's a graphic some where with who's doing what) We're only picking one week for now, eventually if there's some left over we will double up.

Basically, just read through the threads in this section and you'll learn all the magic and wonder that is a calendar.

[morea]

^ what he said.

After you submit your first design, you will be able to snag a second based on what's still available.

[captain spanky]

cooooooooool
baggins for week 35
:D
sorry for being greedy. :)

[Kool]

You got it Cap'n. http://home.comcast.net/~rnick9/koolsmiley.gif

[budafist]

Glad you took off the pic from the other thread Kool. The image I was working with was getting damn confusing with Monday as start of week. Let's just use your list from now on.

[Kool]

I didn't take it down Buda, it just kind of disappeared there for a while. How bout I replace it with just the calendar and let people look below to see whats available.

[budafist]

Yeah, but can you put up the calendar with Sunday as a start day? that way no (or at least less) confusion.

[fredrich]

Yeah, but can you put up the calendar with Sunday as a start day? that way no (or at least less) confusion.

Sunday as a start day? Seems odd to me.

[Kool]

Will do. :)

[budafist]

Sunday as a start day? Seems odd to me.

Me too! but the majority of the world start their calendar week on a Sunday... Or people on here have led me to believe...

[fredrich]

Me too! but the majority of the world start their calendar week on a Sunday... Or people on here have led me to believe...

I don't get the logic in that. Monday is the first work day of the week. Sunday is mostly a resting day.

[anderson]

is this project still going?

cause if so I'd like the week ending January 26 <- my birthday.

[budafist]

Can someone that starts their calendar week on a Sunday please enlighten us? All my calendars and diaries start on Monday. :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

Can someone that starts their calendar week on a Sunday please enlighten us? All my calendars and diaries start on Monday. :D
I guess we're just accustomed to the Sunday-starting week, to the point that it does so in virtually all contexts. Nearly all our calendars start the week on Sunday. I don't know how it started or why, that's just how it is for some reason. The only things I ever see that start the week on Monday are weekly planners, where you write out all your appointments and meetings and deadlines - all that craptacular stuff.I'm basically visually trained on the Sunday starting week. A monthly calendar that started the week on Monday would really screw me up. If I had to quickly figure out what day of the week June 20th is or the exact date of the third Tuesday of August, I'd probably screw it up. If my eye sees seven boxes across a page and someone mentions Tuesday, my eye will automatically go to the third box.Frankly, I think the week should start on Monday. Monday marks the beginning of a specific unit of time in your life. You wake up on Monday morning to start the work week. Then after working for a few days, you have a couple days off to relax before starting it all over again... on Monday.Out of curiosity, is the US the only place that starts the week on Sunday? Just like we're the only ones who call football &quot;soccer&quot;? And the only ones not using the metric system? And the only ones who misspell &quot;colorize&quot; and &quot;license&quot;?

[budafist]

Well you don't do anything like we do in NZ! You don't even drive on the proper side of the road!!!

[fredrich]

The date/time view in Windows starts on Monday, my mobile phone calendar starts on Monday and our calendars start on Mondays.

[balou]

Do you guys want to have a vote on what day to start these on?

[Red Kittie Kat]

... I don't know if we can vote at this point. Some have already been completed and others are in the finishing stages.

[budafist]

Good point. We'll just have to leave it now.

["Technical" Terry]

I'll take week #51 for my second submission.

[Kool]

is this project still going?

cause if so I'd like the week ending January 26 <- my birthday.

Absolutely, you got it.

[Kool]

I'll take week #51 for my second submission.

Done! :D

[Mynock]

I think you should keep it too one each, just so that people each have the same number. Also that will allow new people and wider range of users/artists to input their art.

I would have agreed with you a month or two ago, but it doesn't seem as though too many people are signing up anymore. Deadlines are looming and we only have FOUR submissions so far. We need to get this done.

[Kool]

Since nobody is signing up (including a lot of senior members) we agreed that if you get your first one in you can select a second week. :)

[budafist]

I've also talked my other half (and the other half of budafist.com) into doing one, but he can just have whatever is left at the end!

[DesignStudio]

i must have missed something, probably due to my short attention span, so if someone would like to explain what in the wide wide world of sports is going on here, or point me in the right direction to read about it, perhaps i'll do one. whatever doing one means. thanks.

This thread is a good place to start. (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23698)

You're in :)

[SpugNothuson]

I'll go for Week 17. Be my birthday week. Stick my feet up, relax and admire the GDF Calendar.

I suppose I'd better get my thinking cap on for ideas. Lets hope a muse gives me a visit in the near future, with a bit of luck she'll not slap me in the face this time...

[fredrich]

I think I'll have a go at the first week (agh, the pressure).

[Navian]

I'll take:
Week #13 | 23-Mar to 29-Mar

[Virgo Nightingale]

If I'm able to take a second week (and not jumping the gun again :D), I'd like week 3.

[jessicam]

I'd like week 21, please. :)

[SurfPark]

I'd like week 15 please!

[Kool]

[budafist]

Can I have week 40 for my second one?
It just happens to be Ghandi's birthday, Farm Animals Day as well as World Animal Day :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

I'll take week 40 for a second go round if no one else wants it :)

[budafist]

I want it!

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao buda .... I missed that :D


actually I think I meant to say week 37 and typed 40 reading yours :D


don't beat me :p

[budafist]

You mean you don't want to be slapped with a wet noodle?

[Riya]

Now that I am not sick and have some free time, I will jump in. I'll take week #51 please.

[budafist]

Hmmm...it seems that 51 wasn't deleted from the list. Technical Terry has dibs on that. Sorry Riya, is there another week to your liking?

[Riya]

#48? I just want something in the wintertime cause there are some snowflakes I did for a project in college that I am thinking of reusing.

[budafist]

That's better. Kool should be in sometime to update the lists.

[Kool]

Heh heh, sorry about the confusion folks. I think everything is up to date and accurate now. Complicated things like a list of dates seem to confuse me ;)

[Red Kittie Kat]

errrm... somehow I am down for the week #27 Im almost positive I didn't sign up for 2 weeks in a row :D

I just noticed it when I ran through the list. I can do it if it will frog up the works ... but I just started working on week #37 too :D
