| Not sure why it dropped...there may have been a hiccup on the host side, but I've restored the original entry. |

| Well, I just looked more carefully and found the message "Deleted Broken/Missing Image." What? Did I do everything but "Submit?" Wow, if that is true, then that's a first for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| No, that's more often a case where an image doesn't load and it's holding the page loading up. In your case it was almost certainly a temporary hiccup, because the image is loading just fine now. If you'd forgotten to hit submit,v there'd be no delete reason at all, and I wouldn't have been able to find the entry to restore it. |

| Elsinore, you're just too quick. I figured at this time of the day you would be off some where, but thank you for restoring the original and removing the repost. |

Congrats, fluffybunny and U-man! Thanks to all who participated.
Lokisbong, I'm not upset or angry with you at all (or anyone else who couldn't play this week). I was worried for a couple hours there that this theme would be a complete disaster, but it turned out fine.
I'm not sure if there would be enough interest to do a similar theme in the future. I noticed the voters seemed to like it, as evidenced by the high votes-per-entry average: 15.4 As comparison to that, I looked at one of the more popular recent contests, "Puddytats 2". That one had a 15.1 average votes/entry. Tell you what; if you suggest it in the themes section, I will +1 it 
Lastly, in the "I clearly do not know how the voting will go" department: my thoughts on first seeing the thread: "That Nyan cat is going to win by a landslide!" ... no offence meant to anyone else, that was just my first impression. |

Thanks ZE,..
When I first lined up on this one I thought I wouldn't like it but the more I studied it the more fun I had. I'm glad you went with "printable" albums though. Good idea whoever suggested it. I would have been out otherwise. |

Congrats to fluffybunny for the individual and combined 1st's. And to you to ZE. Not only is that a kick-ass album cover, but you executed well.
Fun theme. I wouldn't mind doing something similar but with more flexibility in photo size and choice.
Thanks for the comment ZE. I liked how the Floyd-Nyan cat came out. It might be too obscure for a mass of voters though. Plus the stuff that placed in front of it is solid. |

| Hey U-Man, my initial goal was to use Dark Side of the Moon also but I wanted to use an actual prism and (probably) manufacture the spectrum somehow (was thinking LEDs). It got too complicated quickly so I abandoned it. Glad I did, yours would have beat it I think, and funny to boot. |

Really late to this one with the travel & holiday. Good to see you made it and kept the streak going, Els.
Congrats fluffy on the sweep. Don't know if you noticed or not, but you grabbed almost 24% of the entire vote (total NVC of 238.96), which reminds me of a few stats that I still need to add (highest entry/contest vote and highest entry/contest NVC). For highest total contest NVC, that puts you solidly in the #2 spot:
Code: UserName Contest Total NVC
----------- ------------------- ---------
millera9 Barbie (and Ken) 248.88
fluffybunny Sleeve-faced 238.96
staplermofo Barbie (and Ken) 206.47
U-Man Sleeve-faced 192.21
evern On The Wagon 182.19
Elsinore Barbie (and Ken) 165.18
U-Man What A Load Of Crop 154.76
soosh Farkstronomy 154.75
Elsinore V-Day 141.91
chakalakasp Power 141.07 Note that U-Man grabbed another top ten with this contest also. |

I'm not sure who you're referring to when you used the pronoun "you," but there's a few themes that are at 8 or 9 that could use a vote or 2 to push them over the top. |

Ok, admittedly math is not my strong suit, though I love seeing statistics (go figure). But I'm not grokking "highest entry/contest vote and highest entry/contest NVC". Is that just the highest percentage of the contest's votes or NVC? |
