So coach Herman Edwards and his staff went back to work shortly after Monday night's embarrassment to try and figure out some way, any way, to simplify the new 4-3 scheme for the Jets and thereby improve what is currently the worst run defense in the NFL. "They're not playing [the 4-3] correctly," Edwards said. "Until they play it correctly, this is going to happen."
Edwards said in the aftermath of Monday's loss that he would look for 11 new starters on defense if he had to. Of course, he can't do that, but in a sobering indictment of just how far behind the Jets are in the new scheme, he said Tuesday he'd first like to find 11 guys who can line up in the correct spots on the field.
It's back to basics for a Jets squad staring at a very basic dilemma: If their defensive play doesn't improve, and soon, the Jets will be playing out the string before they know it.
"We have to improve," Edwards said. "We have no choice."
ROSTER MOVES: The Jets waived rookie DE Mike Cecere, who literally came out of nowhere in training camp—he didn't even begin the summer with the Jets—to make the opening day roster, and punter Daniel Pope, who performed decently in his one game against the Niners. To replace Cecere and Pope, the Jets elevated versatile Tory Woodbury to the active roster and signed former Redskins QB Todd Husak to the practice squad. Woodbury, who has dazzled the coaching staff with his athletic ability in practice, is listed as a quarterback but could play at wide receiver, safety or special teams.
INJURY REPORT: Chad Morton (sprained ankle) is out this week. Damien Robinson (sprained ankle) and Steve Martin (toe) are each questionable.
Tune in Sunday morning to the "New York Football Report," which can be heard from 10 to 11 a.m. on the radio at WDGA-850 AM in West Palm Beach and online at wdga.com. Jets Confidential Editor Dan Leberfeld and Giants Insider Editor Ken Palmer will co-host the show, which is sponsored by sportbet.com and will run every Sunday morning during the NFL season.

Letters Section Editor: Robert M. Golub, MD, Senior Editor.
To the Editor: Dr Fox and colleagues1 reported decreasing rates of death after hospitalization for ACS in the GRACE registry. They showed that crude in-hospital mortality for non–ST-segment elevation ACS remained unchanged over time, whereas a decline was seen when risk-adjusted rates were analyzed; this difference is due to a 5-point increase in the mean in-hospital risk score. The patients' characteristic with the largest change from 1999 to 2005 was the percentage of patients with positive initial enzyme levels (+17%). According to the method of risk quantification used in this study,2 the14 points assigned to elevated enzyme levels in the risk score suggests that this could explain nearly half of the mean change in risk score (14×0.17 = 2.4). Therefore, the increased use of troponin measurement may have significantly influenced the risk-adjusted comparisons between study periods.

my Life
I can't walk and he can't talk.
I have CMT; he is deaf and has, well, seven other disabilities, according to his pediatrician. No matter. I wouldn't be writing this story if he were here with me today. It's Sunday and I miss him terribly.
It woke me up, the dream. I, or he, only had a week to live. They carried him out—what was left of him—his upper body, no arms, a head, a chest, that was it. Although my gaze was not direct, I was there. "Don't look." Was this how I avoided life? I didn't look?
"I knew I was going to meet you," I said to this handsome, tall dark man, who immediately knew me for what I was. "The dangerous sort" was what I wanted, I had told a friend, whose gentleman friend I had at the time rejected. It definitely was magic at first sight. The language...
I have lost the interest of this man. I am clearly heartbroken. I wish he would tell me point blank what he didn't like about me, though perhaps it's better not. I'll just have to deduce this, which is more than painful enough.
Fact. I have not heard from him in two...

Frank serves as Editor-In-Chief and Publisher of The Cannata Report, a monthly magazine that focuses on the independent dealer channel and their efforts in the office products and workflow solutions industry. To meet the demands of the digital age, he authorized the creation and recent substantial update of TheCannataReport.com, which features digital-only content and tools.

Marketing Research Consultants LLC hosts The Cannata Report Awards ceremony every year, which began as a breakfast in 1986. For 11 years this event concentrated solely on issuing awards that recognized the leading manufacturers and their senior executives in the industry.
In 1997, The Cannata Report awards ceremony format became a dinner. In addition, at the urging of several industry leaders a charitable component was added. Since that time approximately $1,000,000 has been raised for charities such as Childhelp USA, Glide Foundation, the V Foundation for Cancer Research and scholarship endowments at CalTech, St. Mary's College, Seton Hall University and St. Ignatius Prep.
A graduate of Seton Hall University, Frank has served as past president of the Connecticut Alumni of Seton Hall University and received the institution's Humanitarian of the Year Award in 1994.

It comes down to liability, plain and simple. When people see a stamp on a set of drawings or calculations, they are "reassured" that the information presented therein is up to "code." That person stamping drawings should be doing with the confidence that if the project is built correctly, there should be no problems. Should something fail, the name on that stamp is legally liable. Yes, many structures throughout Europe are older than many nations. However, a lot of them are overbuilt and massive, and many are not necessarily prone to many natural disasters. Without a stamp, who becomes liable for a structure that fails? Too often, people such as contractors or designers will advertise such design services, use a fake stamp, get PAID, then set up shop elsewhere under a different name. They flat out don't care about providing a quality product, because they are more interested in making money... Sick, but it happens too often... My $0.02...

Finding Closure
Closure. What is it exactly? After the demise of a relationship, people usually ask, "Do you feel like you got closure?". I always wondered what people meant by this. We live in a society that likes to box everything up nicely with a big perfectly tied bow. However, life doesn't seem to fit in a flawlessly square box so smoothy. Things are left unsaid, and undone. And that's okay. But it appears that this "undone-ness" leaves an uncomfortable taste in people's mouths, and more importantly, in people's hearts.
The dictionary defines closure as "the resolution of a significant event or relationship in a person's life" and "a sense of contentment experienced after such a resolution." This idea of closure is comforting, but is it always possible?
What happens when a person cheats on another, and the trust and love is destroyed? Or what about the husband that gets hit by a drunk driver and the wife never got the chance to say goodbye? Or how about the man that walks into his apartment to see his girlfriend's belongings gone with a goodbye note, and no further communication. Some things don't have that beautiful ending or finality we had all hoped for. But in our society, there is this constant need for this crazy thing called closure.
The meaning of closure is not universal. Some people believe that closure lies within speaking your piece. This is the girl that finally tells her ex her truth. Or the guy that ultimately writes the letter to his previous girlfriend, apologizing for all of his mistakes and wrongdoings. As the words leave our mouths, we have the sensation of them leaving our minds and our bodies.
But for others, speaking these words isn't possible, or may not be helpful. Instead, what I believe could be closure is knowledge. Sometimes, seeing reality and a person for their true selves can be all the closure you need. Or maybe you realized the kind of person you are. And, this awareness has given you a "sense of contentment." Could acceptance be a piece of this missing undone puzzle?
Knowledge is power, and in this case, it could be closure too.
I still wonder if true closure is even possible. Is it something made up in our minds to hopefully attain complete and pure finality of a situation in our lives? Have we watched one too many romantic comedies? Or is it human nature to avoid this incomplete feeling?
In all honesty, I don't know the answer to this puzzle. So, I will leave these questions unanswered and unsolved — just like the way I feel about closure.

When was the last time you conducted a financial review of your business?
Most Business Owners will be financially vigilant in the early days of their business, thoughtfully reviewing it's financial performance and growth, because in these early stages there is a 'fear' of failure and it is crucial that a Business Owner is being vigilant over the business finances.
However as a business becomes well established and is running well, Business Owners develop a routine of working "in" their business and it is easy to forget to work "on" the business. A year or two, or many years, can quickly pass without any consideration being given to economic and industry changes affecting your business.
At the very least, Business Owners should be financially reviewing their business, and its' performance, annually with their Accountant. A proper financial review of your business will assess how well your business is performing, highlighting your strengths and areas needing improvement, and identify actions required to effect necessary change
Your business cannot progress without thinking about the longer term needs of your business and your customers, and ensuring your business has a clear business direction and strategic plan in place to:
A clear business strategy will ensure you stay on track.
It is important to annually review the products or services that your business provides and assess which ones as profitable and successful, and what makes them so.
Questions you need to be asking in an annual financial review of your business include:
These and more key questions must be answered to improve the performance, profitability and efficiency of your business.
Economic, industry and market changes are not the only factors affecting your business and its' performance. Every business must regularly assess the internal elements of their business, including:
To achieve continuous improvement in your business, and remain competitive, an Annual Financial Review of your business and not just a review of your Financial Statements, is required.
Ask your Accountant to provide you with a Financial Review of your business so you can stand back from your business and take a long hard look at where your business needs to improve its' performance so it can continue to grow.
It is doubtful whether you alone will be able to answer the questions necessary to conduct a meaningful and effective Financial Review of your business – involving your Accountant and Business Advisor will help to make your business review more effective.
Once the financial review of your business has identified areas that require attention, boost your chances of success by putting in place a cohesive and strategic plan to develop your business and move it forward.

Governor Quinn, AT&T Announce 200 New Jobs Across Illinois
(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SPRINGFIELD, Ill., Jan. 31 -- Gov. Pat Quinn, D-Ill., issued the following news release: Governor Pat Quinn today joined AT&T Illinois to announce the communications company's plans to create about 200 new jobs across Illinois. The jobs include retail staff and technicians. With unemployment at its lowest point in almost five years, today's announcement is a part of Governor Quinn's agenda to create more jobs and drive Illinois' economy forward.
"Illinois is a technology hub for the nation and we're thrilled that AT&T is creating 200 new jobs in our state," Governor Quinn said. "As Illinois' economy continues making a comeback from the worst recession since the Great Depression, AT&T's commitment to Illinois and our workers is another step forward." "With these new jobs, Illinois and AT&T are moving forward together," AT&T Illinois President Paul La Schiazza said. "Through Project Velocity IP (Internet Protocol), AT&T has invested billions in Illinois over the past few years and through it we plan to invest even more in our wired and wireless broadband networks to help our customers get the most out of the internet economy of today and tomorrow. As consumer demand drives the transition to broadband communications infrastructure, modern policies are essential to allow Illinois to enjoy the full economic benefits of the broadband world." The new jobs will be located in cities throughout Illinois, including Chicago, Aurora, Elgin, Buffalo Grove, Northbrook, Libertyville, Champaign and Springfield. AT&T currently employs more than 14,000 workers in Illinois. Those interested in learning more about AT&T job opportunities or seeking to apply online can visit www.att.jobs.
International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 21 (IBEW 21) President - Business Manager Paul Wright said he is pleased to see AT&T creating more jobs in Illinois. "Our partnership with AT&T to get updates to Illinois' communication law solidifies our relationship and demonstrates our Union's commitment to work with AT&T to create more union jobs while bringing broadband communications to more customers in Illinois," Wright said.
"We're pleased to learn about these new Union job opportunities at AT&T," Linda Hinton, Vice President of Communications Workers of America (CWA) District 4, said. "These Union jobs are important to working families in Illinois." AT&T invested nearly $4 billion in its wired and wireless networks in Illinois between January 2010 and July 2013. Through Project Velocity IP, AT&T is expanding its 4G LTE wireless network ? a superfast mobile broadband network ? to cover 300 million people by the end of 2014.
Since recovery from the recession began in January 2010, Illinois has added 280,000 private sector jobs. Unemployment was at 11.3 percent at the height of the Great Recession and today it is at its lowest point in almost five years. Since last May, Illinois has led the Midwest in new jobs created. According to the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank, in the next six months Illinois is projected to have the best economic growth of the five largest states in America.
In his 2014 State of the State address, Governor Quinn laid out a five-year blueprint for jobs and economic growth in Illinois. The Governor's blueprint calls for three key things: creating more jobs, making early childhood education a top priority and building an economy that works for everyone.

If You Want a Second Date, Don't Order a Salad
I might be a woman, but there are some things we girls do that baffle even me. Like going out on a dinner date and only ordering a salad. Why do women do that?!?

It's lights out for Jon Stewart tonight as he says goodbye to The Daily Show tonight after a 16-year run, and one frequent target of his jokes is having some fun in saying farewell.
That sandwich you take for granted could be heating up to win a local bars or restaurants some nice cash and support a good cause at the same time. Tioga Downs Casino is hosting their first ever Belly Busting Burger Battle track side on July 19th and all proceeds will benefit local children attending The Salvation Army's Long Point Camp on Seneca Lake.
In a move reminiscent of when the Colts packed up and snuck out of Baltimore and moved to Indy in the middle of the night on March 28, 1984, Toby Keith's bar in Syracuse has also packed up and moved in the dark.
The Binghamton Mets wrap up their road trip with a 2-1 loss in 10 innings to the Richmond Flying Squirrels. They stranded a season high 15 runners on base.
They return to NYSEG Stadium tonight for Thirsty Thursday on Hip Hop Night. It's a 4 game homestand against New Hampshire.
Such a picture perfect day in the Southern Tier! Maybe this is a good night to grab some friends or share a nice family dinner at a new or longtime favorite eatery? Thursday night ends Endicott Restaurant Week, hosted by Mayor John Bertoni and the Village of Endicott.
Today is the final day for Binghamton Restaurant Week. Don't miss out on this opportunity to help out local restaurants for a good cause.
Earlier this week, I went to South Side Yanni's.
Binghamton Restaurant Week is almost over. You have until Thursday to take advantage of it.
Here are several things that I love about Binghamton Restaurant Week.
Friends of mine that know good food will always place Tranquil Bar & Bistro in their top 5 choices for great dining in the Binghamton area. After my meal last week, I would definitely agree. If you don't have Tranquil on your must list for Binghamton Restaurant Week, do yourself a favor and add it to your list.
You may or not know that I (Emily, formerly known as 'Skitter') am from Long Island, which means that most of the annual events in Binghamton are very new to me. (What is a Speidie?!)
This year, I'm so excited to participate in my first ever Restaurant Week!
Binghamton Restaurant Week is back! You know it's a good week when it last's 10 days.
Tara and I have a tradition that began 3 years ago, where we go to Binghamton Hots.
She loves it so much she made a t-shirt. She recently asked me how the restaurant got it's name and it got me thinking. Good question.
Binghamton Restaurant Week begins Tuesday with some fabulous 3 course lunch and dinner options, all priced at $12 or less for lunch and $25 of less for dinner. Here are some tips to get the most out of this popular dining-out fest of food:
Everyone I talk with seems to have a serious case of cabin fever. That's why I am predicting that Binghamton Restaurant Week will be busier than ever when the Southern Tier's favorite eat fest opens March 24- April 2nd.
Today is National Pancake Day! IHOP created this 10 years ago and today, they will celebrate with a 'Decade of Giving'.

West Ham United. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1
Jones 41
Attendance: 14,952
ANY MATCH that requires Sherlock to mark Holmes can be expected to provide a measure of suspense and this one had both sets of supporters alternately on the edge of their seats. In the end, solving the mystery of why County, with a dreadful away record, are so difficult to beat at home was beyond West Ham, although the replay ought to tax them less.
After surviving the urgency of County's early raiding, the Londoners imposed their authority as a Premiership side should, their midfield unit mobile enough to confront the home team with a wall of light blue when under attack yet providing Lee Chapman and the energetic Steve Jones with a broad sweep of support when they broke forward.
And yet they could not add the finish to make their superiority tell. Steve Cherry, the County goalkeeper, brought off two excellent saves in the first half, first to keep out a diving header by the brave Chapman, then to deny Jones a goal from a swerving shot propelled sweetly with the outside of his right boot, but was not tested so seriously again.
The first half eventually owed more to Tales of the Unexpected, County gaining a 38th- minute lead just as West Ham, whose vocal supporters made up a third of a 15,000 crowd, sensed the pendulum was swinging their way. Ludek Miklosko, marring an otherwise sound performance, fumbled his attempt to collect Meindert Dijkstra's speculative long ball, his eye perhaps distracted by Tony Agana's move to challenge. The ball spilled to Gary Lund, just outside the penalty area, and the County forward struck it perfectly to clear goalkeeper and covering defenders and drop into the unguarded goal.
Moments later, West Ham scrambled back an untidy equaliser in which Jones, keeping his place after scoring against Norwich last Monday in only his second outing of the season, displayed poor close control and decisive finish almost in one movement. Betrayed by his first touch when a loose ball bobbled to him, he then had the good fortune to have it bounce perfectly for him off a defender's thigh and, pivoting through 180 degrees, smashed it into the roof of the County net.

"Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~/MOVE" Retrospective
With this being the 25th anniversary year for B'z, we have decided to run a series of retrospectives throughout the year celebrating the band's achievements and accomplishments. Essentially, we will be providing extensive write-ups on certain B'z albums, singles, tours, and related subjects on a regular basis for the entire year. All articles pertaining to this feature will also be simultaneously archived in the B'z Wiki for posterity.
Today, it's a look back at the band's first double A-side single that spawned two of their most beloved early singles: "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~/MOVE"!
Should you prefer to read this article in Wiki form, you can do so right here!
Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~/MOVE
Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~/MOVE (ミエナイチカラ, Invisible Power) is the nineteenth single by B'z and their first double A-side, released on March 6, 1996. Tak stated that with the songs in question and the tie-up promotions attached to them, it made the most sense to couple the two songs as a double A-side. It remained the band's only double A-side single until "Ichibu to Zenbu/DIVE" was released in 2009.
Although this would be a non-album single, both tracks would be collected on future compilation albums. "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" was voted for inclusion on the band's first fan-selected best of album B'z The Best "Treasure" and would also be included on the first of the band's two 20th anniversary collections, B'z The Best "ULTRA Pleasure". In 2000, "MOVE" would be included on the remixes and re-recordings album B'z The "Mixture", although it was in its original, unaltered form. Later, in 2008, the song was nearly voted onto B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure" where it finished fortieth in the voting.
Both of the songs that made up the single were performed during B'z LIVE-GYM '96 "Spirit LOOSE", where "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" was used to close out all dates on the tour. The two songs would be included sporadically in setlists over the years, including a revival of "MOVE" for LIVE-GYM 2010 "Ain't No Magic" and "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" seeing its North American premiere during LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-.
A promotional video for "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" was filmed through the first chorus, but was canceled and shelved when the band found the concept unclear. Instead, the promotional video featured behind-the-scenes footage from the "Spirit LOOSE" tour. The video aired for "MOVE" featured footage from the then-recent recording of "Real Thing Shakes" in Los Angeles. Concurrently, the two songs were both used in tie-in promotions. "Mienai Chikara ~INVISIBLE ONE~" served as an ending song to the anime "Hell Teacher Nube", a first for the band, while "MOVE" was used in a commercial for one of Benesse Corporation's "Shinkenzemi" junior high study course programs.
B'z made no television appearances for the single due to preparations for their upcoming tour, but did grant several magazine interviews to promote the release. The double A-side single moved 715,000 copies in its first week on shelves, making it the fifth fasting-selling B'z single to date. It would later be given the Million certification by the Recording Industry Association of Japan with over 1.2 million in physical copies sold.
"Real Thing Shakes" Retrospective
With this being the 25th anniversary year for B'z, we have decided to run a series of retrospectives throughout the year celebrating the band's achievements and accomplishments. Essentially, we will be providing extensive write-ups on certain B'z albums, singles, tours, and related subjects on a regular basis for the entire year. All articles pertaining to this feature will also be simultaneously archived in the B'z Wiki for posterity.
Today, we're heading back to 1996 to revisit the only physical English single by the band! A pivotal track from the band that has been a karaoke staple in Japan since release: "Real Thing Shakes"!
Should you prefer to read this article in Wiki form, you can do so right here!
Real Thing Shakes
Real Thing Shakes is the twentieth single by B'z, released on May 15, 1996. The single is notable for many reasons, the chief of which being that it remains the only English single B'z has released and is also the band's only one-track single. Upon release, the single was a massive success for the band with sales in excess of 600,000 copies in its first week on shelves. Additionally, the release also set a record for being the first English single by a Japanese artist to sell one million copies and, in doing so, secured the record for thirteen consecutive one-million selling releases. As of 2012, the record remains unbroken.
The release offered other firsts for B'z, with the cover being the first in which the band members were not pictured and also became the only B'z song to date not produced by Tak Matsumoto himself. The producer role instead went to Andy Johns, who had previously served as an engineer to both Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones. This was only one of many occasions in which B'z collaborated with Western engineers and musicians. At the time of recording, English renditions of "FUSHIDARA 100%" and "WILD ROAD" were also planned as Johns was quite impressed with the guitar riffs Tak had written. Neither was ever officially released. Footage of the recording process with Johns can be seen on both the 1998 official bootleg and the 2008 official bootleg.
"Real Thing Shakes" has only been collected on a Japanese-released B'z album on one occasion: 1998's fan-selected compilation, B'z The Best "Treasure", where it finished in 10th place. Ten years later in 2008, the song narrowly missed being included on the band's 20th anniversary collection B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure" when it finished 36th in the voting. In 2002, in order to promote the B'z and Aerosmith appearance at the 2002 FIFA World Cup International Day hosted jointly by Japan and South Korea, B'z released an album exclusively in Korea titled DEVIL that contained "Real Thing Shakes" as well as four other English tracks. The song was again given an international release when it was released in the United States on a compilation chosen by Japanese Boston Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka entitled Music from the Mound.
An original promotional video was shot for the single that mixed live performances of the song with original footage shot specifically for the occasion.
Be With! Vol. 95 Interview Translation
After a short hiatus, we are now able to bring you the latest B'z interview to date! The interview was conducted right after their Pepsi PREMIUM LIVE in August last year. This issue covers a lot of behind the scenes information on the band's debut English album, the involvement of drummer Shane Gaalaas in its production, and the band's latest plans for their then-upcoming tour, B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-.
You can find the interview in our B'z wiki: http://bzwiki.offthelock.com/Be_With!_Vol._95_(September_2012)
The next issue, Be With! Vol. 96, is expected to ship in the upcoming weeks. The interview will most likely feature Tak and Koshi's impressions of their North American tour. Look forward to it!
Don't forget to stay hype.
"B'z (English Album)" Retrospective
With this being the 25th anniversary year for B'z, we have decided to run a series of retrospectives throughout the year celebrating the band's achievements and accomplishments. Essentially, we will be providing extensive write-ups on certain B'z albums, singles, tours, and related subjects on a regular basis for the entire year. All articles pertaining to this feature will also be simultaneously archived in the B'z Wiki for posterity.
Today, we're looking back into the very near past for an in-depth look at the recent English album B'z, with as much information as you could possibly want on the recent English songs!
Should you prefer to read this article in Wiki form, you can do so right here!
B'z (English Album)
B'z is the self-titled debut English album by B'z, released worldwide via iTunes on July 25, 2012. The five-track album contains new English reversions of a selection of popular B'z singles released between 1998 and 2006. The newly-written English lyrics were a collaboration between Koshi and longtime drummer of the band, Shane Gaalaas. Along with Cory Churko, Shane was entrusted with mixing of the album due to the band's trust in his familiarity with the B'z sound and vision.
"Love Bomb", an English version of 2005 B'z single "Ai no Bakudan", served as the opening track to the album as well as the theme to a summer campaign for Pepsi NEX in Japan. Months before, the closing track "Into Free -Dangan-" was made the global theme to the Capcom video game Dragon's Dogma and was released as a digital single on April 3, 2012.
The release was supported by B'z LIVE-GYM 2012 -Into Free-, a seven date tour of both coasts of the United States and Canada in the fall of 2012. All songs were performed on the tour, with "Splash", "Juice", and "Into Free -Dangan-" having debuted in the setlist to the previous year's tour, B'z LIVE-GYM 2011 -long time no see-.

2013 B'z Calendar
Just in time for the new year, I have received the new B'z calendar 2013 from B'z Party! As with previous editions of the calendar, there are two versions of it: a monthly one and a weekly one. The monthly one is the larger version which is hung on a wall. I ordered the monthly version just like the past years. But this time, they spiced up the calendar! Compared to the previous edition, the 2013 is much larger in size. Unfortunately, that means it won't fit into my scanner anymore and thus have to resort to taking pictures of it.
The pictures for the 2013 calendar were shot in California during their 2012 North American tour. Also, for the first time, Shane and Barry have joined Tak and Koshi for the photoshoot. The four are on just one picture, though. Look forward to seeing it! I won't tell you which month. 😉
You can now take a look at the picture for January. We are starting out with a very cool picture! Enjoy!
