Yes, Malach the Statzi is back.
This time with year end site stats. This if by far our most successful year to date. We had more hits and visitors by almost 600% than our first year. I also made more money from this site this year, than I have in a while doing art and websites and also advertising. Some final totals. We had 121,554 unique visitors for the year. There was a exponential increase over the course of the year. For Jan of '06, we had 5,508 unique visitors . . by December, that went up to 24,536; which is by far our best month ever. Some top numbers?

The last from Samiam, She's a Part of Me.

So, I started remodeling the Dining Room.
So some interesting stuff. This house was built around 1900 - 1910. So, I started pulling down wall paper. First layer was obviously done in the past 5 years. Second layer, was more of a vinyl style from perhaps the late 60's early 70's. All cool. So we get down to the final layer. Defintely orginal when the house was first built. Real paper, with the standard victorian plantation images. So, to my surprise underneath is not the standard lath and horsehair plaster that is so common in New England houses up until the 60's. It is one of the earliest form of drywall ever made (drywall was first invented in about 1895). A couple sheet of paper, then some type of hard gypsum, them backed by the same paper. Unlike modern drywall it is very hard and rather inflexible. Needless to say, I was estactic . . if you have ever had to deal with lath and plaster, what a pain in the ass. Just watch This Old House a couple of times or move to the area.

Unfortunately the wife threw out her back, so I have been doing the tedious wall paper removal on my own (the old stuff need to be scraped). Picture when done. If you thought the kitchen was good, wait until you see this one. Wife and I are going with an Indian/Kashimiri look.

Nice to see the got everything under control in Miami.
So Nick Saban resigned today and man, did anyone else hear or see the Wayne Huizenga press conference? He actually told media and fans that he was seeking suggestions . . . Hey Wayne, make Cordell Stewart your franchise quarterback . . .
