You all never cease to astound me - what a great week. For those of you new to this challenge, it's not to late to join in. Check out the Note-vember page for scoring and rules, and how to sign up. This week we're going to add in two bonus days to bring it up to the end of the month. 

I'm sorry about getting the scores and the new thread up so late. Keeping a good tally is near impossible when it's Friday night and everyone at my house wants to play their new video games. (So loud!) Anyway, here are last week's scores.

Lucy Lavelle took it away with 311.5 points. Wow, Lucy!

Dan Thompson - 267.5

Doug Lockwood - 196

Star Kline - 173.5

Ron Norman - 34

Laura Scott - 16

Kitty Smith - 10.5

Erin - 7.5

Bob Fields - 4.5

Sharon Casteel - 0.5

Let's go out with a bang this week and see if we can beat last week's numbers: 271 new profiles, 100 biographies, and 310 connections!

Dirctor Mike Nichols (Peschkowsky-1) who just died last week, plus his two Notable grandparents Gustav Landauer-7 the anarchist and Hedwig Lachmann-1 the translator. Profiles, biographies, pictures, sources. Connected all of them back to their distant cousin Albert Einstein, who is already conneced to AJ. BTW his family history is extremely interesting, fleeing Poland, then Russia, then Nazi Germany, documented by Dr. Henry Louis Gates in 2010 in his book "Faces of America" http://books.google.com/books?id=meYbj1E6Ki8C&pg=PA14 . Now I need to work on Mike's wife Diane Sawyer-1948 next, the ABC News anchorwoman.

Also added about a dozen missing images for people from 'Today in History' that already had profiles.

Great job everybody! I'd love to keep the momentum going.

Are we going to have a December challenge of any kind or do have to go cold turkey :-)
There's not going to be a full on challenge, but the Notables project is going to have a few profile connection themes coming up in December and January. Keep an eye out for those!

Here are a bunch of profiles I worked on last week, but never got a chance to add to the thread:

Created profiles for actors:

Emma Stone

Sienna Miller

Carrie Coon

Marion Bailey

Dorothy Atkinson

Imelda Staunton

Marisa Tomei

Lorelei Linklater

Kirsten Dunst

Film director Richard Linklater

Actress and producer Lorraine Toussaint

and created a profile for and connected actress Brie Larson.

If anyone wants to write biographies or make connections for any of these people, let me know!

Looks like Emma Stone is a descendant of Peter Noll-101.  I found this connection solely through following family lines at FindaGrave, starting with Lovina Noll and George Yeager.  I'll put this on my to do list for the long weekend to source and connect
