How I Use My Epson Picturemate to Print Photos for Project Life ...

So I decided to take on Project Life again in 2013 (I tried it once in 2009 ? epic FAIL). So far, it?s really cutting into my blogging time, LOL! But, no, that?s good right? I?m scrapbooking again ? woot! At home, not just at a retreat or crop . . . which is a miracle for me these days.

I?ll be posting this year about my adventures with Project Life so I hope you like hearing about it :)

One thing that?s crucial to making Project Life work for me in the long-term is it has to be SIMPLE. S-I-M-P-L-E. And fast. I?m plate-spinning here, people! (You know, like a circus act). Trying to keep everything going at once and not letting anything drop ? family, work, blogging, scrapbooking, friends, volunteering, et al.

If Project Life is going to work for me, I need a fast and easy way to print photos. Sending them out to be developed or waiting in line for the photo machine at Target ain?t gonna? work for me. I need to print at home. Yeah, it?s a tad more expensive but totally worth it.

I also didn?t want to bring software into the mix. I know there are programs such as iPhoto, Photosheet (not compatible with us Mac?ers unfortunately), and Photoshop. But does it sound like I have time to learn a new photo program much less do editing and all that crap?!?! Hell to thuh no. I barely have time to tear my washi before I pull it off the roll, sista!

So I keep it simple (see above). I print the photos straight from my camera card, no editing. I mean, this is Project REAL Life for me. It?s Day 14 and I?m actually caught up through Day 12. I owe most of that to my Epson Picturemate printer.

I have an older model; it?s a Picturemate Dash (PM 260). I finally figured out again how to print multiple smaller photos onto one 4?6 sheet. Thank you Project Life for motivating me, LOL!

You may already know how to do this but in case anyone doesn?t, I thought I?d share the instructions I typed out to keep by the printer (for the next time I forget how to do this or my mind is spinning so fast I can?t access any available brain cells):

Epson Picturemate Dash PM 260
How to print multiple photos on 1 sheet

1. Insert memory card into printer
2. When all photos have loaded, use arrows to find 1st photo you want
3. When it?s highlighted, make sure it says Total 1, then press OK
4. Highlight 2nd photo and press OK
5. Menu
6. Print Settings
7. Layout
8. Jumbo Wallet (or see other choices below)
9. Print ? which will give you a preview to make sure it?s how you want
10. Print again ? photo will print

Layout choices:
Jumbo Wallet = (2) 3?4 with no border; can do 2 different photos (great for Project Life!)
50?70 = (2) 2 x 2 ?; can do 2 different photos
Wallet = (2) 2?3; can do 2 different photos
Mini Wallet = (4) 1 ? x 1 ?; can do up to 4 different photos
US Passport = (2) 2?2; same photo only
Layout-3?3 = (1) 3?3 photo
*Portait Packages and US Passport = only prints multiple copies of same photo

There are MANY more layout choices. I just noted the ones I?m likely to use. I love having all these layouts to choose from because Simple Stories ?Sna@p!? is coming out with some new page protector configurations . . . including tons of new 3?4 options!! I?m using the Sn@p! line as the basis of my Project Life 2013 so this is very anticipated :)

I like that I don?t have to use a computer program to print multiple photos onto one 4?6. I just pop my SD card out of my camera and into the Picturemate and print away! I don?t know if these instructions work for other models or newer models of the Epson Picturemate. But even if they don?t work specifically, at least you can see that this CAN be done! In 10 easy steps :)

Just find the manual for your printer online and look for the section about photo layout. Then you will be happyyyyy like meeee!!!

One Direction Prank: Teen's Family Puts On Boy Band Masks During Christmas Lunch

When Beth, a teenager from the U.K., stepped away from the table during her family Christmas lunch to use the bathroom, this is the image she returned to:

Beth -- a huge One Direction fan who prefers to stay anonymous -- shared the adorable backstory with us via email:

The saga started late on Christmas Eve when I was called down from bed by my parents. When I walked into the room there was a lifesize cutout of Niall Horan. You can imagine how I reacted to seeing him in my living room!!!

My parents thought that my reaction was so funny that the following day (during Christmas lunch) I went upstairs to go to the restroom for a couple of minutes. When I came down you can only imagine what I saw... the whole of 1D in my dining room. This time they were moving!!!

For a split second I had sensory overload and actually thought they were in front of me, including Niall standing in the background!!!! Yet again, I reacted to the scene in the dining room and, yet again, not only were my parents laughing at me, but so were my grandparents!!

Reality then kicked and it was at this point that I thought it would be a good idea to tweet the picture as I still could not believe my eyes.

I cannot believe the amount attention this photograph has generated and I'm very pleased that Directioners from all over the world have enjoyed the moment with me.

So What If You Have Big Data? Without Data-Driven Processes And Products, It?s Useless

Editor's note: John De Goes is co-founder and CEO of Precog, an analytics platform for developers. These days, you don?t have to look hard to find big data. If you?re like many companies I talk to, you?re sitting atop an ever-growing mountain of data, scratching your head and wondering, ?OK, I?ve got big data. Now what do I do??

Beyond picky eaters: When your kid is too thin

At barely 25 pounds, 3-year-old Weston Carmann is about the size of an average 20-month-old. Like 3.5 percent of U.S. kids, he?s underweight, a barely recognized condition in a nation where two-thirds of children and teens are overweight or obese. But kids who are too thin are just as much of a worry, their parents say.

Best Buy shares up 17percent on $5 billion founder bid report

(Reuters) - Best Buy Co Inc shares rose as much as 17 percent on Thursday as it became clearer that company founder Richard Schulze may have firmed up financing to buy out the consumer electronics retailer.

Shares reached as high as $14.44 after a report from the Minneapolis Star Tribune that Schulze is expected to make a fully financed offer for the company by a mid-December deadline.

Schulze's bid would be at least $5 billion to $6 billion, the newspaper reported late Wednesday, citing the source.

Schulze's bid at that level would be well below his initial offer range in August, when he said he could acquire Best Buy for $24 to $26 per share, or a total of $8.16 billion to $8.84 billion. Including debt, it would be as much as $10.9 billion.

Since August, Best Buy shares have fallen 40 percent, and last month Best Buy reported a decline in same-store sales for the ninth time in the last 10 quarters

The size of such a potential deal, combined with Best Buy's weak performance in the last two years, has made many on Wall Street doubt it could get done.

"There was skepticism in the market that he could get financing for the deal," Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy said, adding that the share price has increased now that there is a greater possibility of getting a deal done.

Still, he was not sure that Best Buy's board or investors would go for such an offer, which would come to about $15 to $18 a share.

But some investors said they are at least willing to hear Schulze out.

"I think the company can be turned around and I think he's as good a person as any to do it," said Bruce Geller, chief executive at New York-based investment management firm Dalton, Greiner, Hartman, Maher & Co in New York.

A representative for Schulze did not immediately respond to a request for a comment. Best Buy declined to comment on the report.

Schulze will meet with his top advisers, including Brad Anderson, a former Best Buy chief executive, and Al Lenzmeier, a former president, in Minnesota on Thursday and Friday, the Star Tribune reported.

Schulze, who founded Best Buy in 1966, has said he would fund any deal through a combination of private equity and debt financing, as well as the reinvestment of some of his own equity in the company. He is Best Buy's biggest shareholder, with 20 percent ownership.

Last month, sources told Reuters that at least three private equity firms - Apollo Global Management LLC , TPG Capital Management LP and Leonard Green & Partners LP - were considering joining Schulze in the bid.

Best Buy's dominance has faded in recent years as consumers increasingly use its big-box stores to browse and try out products, then buy them online at Amazon.com Inc or other websites.
