Reversing Vandalism and Protecting Pages
Hi :) I see, from the bottom of some of the pages, it says 'Bluwiki is unique in that creators of pages can choose who edits their page'. I was wondering how I would protect my pages from vandalism, and also, how to reverse page-blankings?
Thanks! --Shocker 16:47, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
- If you give me the page title you want protected, I can protect them so that anonymous users will be unable to edit. Also, you can rollback page blankings by using the rollback feature - on the history page just click "compare selected versions" and then click "rollback" to undo the last user's edit. Hope this helps. --Sam Odio 22:02, 22 March 2007 (EDT)
I added something to the BluWiki talk:Beta page.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for making this free. It's fantastic, one of the only free Wikis that uses MediaWiki, which is by far the best. Thanks, Sam.

How do you remove the article [edit] tabs at the right side of the articles for guest users? - Aliross
- Aliross, you can try "clean URLs" - i.e. giving your users the link http://bluwiki.com/site/Aliross --Sam Odio 01:16, 19 November 2006 (EST)
Got my mail? Lcarsdata 11:27, 1 March 2007 (EST)
- What mail? --Sam Odio 12:24, 1 March 2007 (EST)
Thanks for the info on the database check. We've wasted a lot of time on this site, too much to have the wasting go to waste. ~MF 16:45, 8 March 2007 (EST)
Fairly massive transwiki request
Sam, I'm running my own wiki here, and want to stick it here - but in order to import the XML sets, I need sysop access. Well, I don't want sysop access, really, but I don't want to copy and paste 152 articles, templates, and redirects by hand, either. You wouldn't have a suggestion for this, would you? --Dennisthetiger 19:20, 12 March 2007 (EDT)
Could you delete the pages Prototype RPG, Bub/s Images, and The No-Bub Club, and the image Image:Darfonwashere.PNG for me? They are abandoned projects of mine and I have already saved the content on these to disk. Bub 21:09, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
- Done! --Sam Odio 21:24, 26 March 2007 (EDT)
Please Block This IP.
Please block 18.104.22.168. He vandalizes, and imitates me, and attacks, and stuff... and he's a creep. Also, please delete my userpage, that he created, imitating me.
- FYI, while your identity can be found, it is easier if you sign your comments. You can do this by putting in four tildas (sp?) (~). Nerdvana 20:29, 28 March 2007 (EDT)
- Hey Sam, sorry to pull the he-said she-said routine, but I'd just like to call to your attention a couple previous edits on a page I had been using that got cleverly added by my buddy above. Check out: http://bluwiki.com/index.php?title=SimUpdates&oldid=115978 for dudeman's creative contribution to the page. Until that point, I really had no idea Metropolis existed and had just started using the page to log development on a bit of software. Try having your boss read that without fair warning. So if you permaban me, I really wont take it personally because I definitely did not respond in a mature manner, but you might want to send my buddy at 126.96.36.199 some love too, thanks. -18.104.22.168
Please stop stalking me.--Metropolisforever 09:11, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
- I've unblocked you. Any future vandalism from the following users or on the following pages will be blocked. --Sam Odio 03:24, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
I Love This Site (BluWiki) :-).
Please leave (a) comment(s) at SiteAdvisor :-).--Metropolisforever 21:45, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
I am not the one who submitted this site for testing. I only submitted doom3.zoy.org for testing.--Metropolisforever 21:48, 29 March 2007 (EDT)
Please delete?
Woah someone should really get to deleting the pages in Category:Pages to delete. What happned to Bear?
--KaiAdin 07:00, 31 March 2007 (EDT)
Oh thinking about it now, if you want I could do it, since Bear left (read through the Blu Plate Diner...)
--KaiAdin 06:32, 2 April 2007 (EDT)
Oh, Cool I wouldn't mind being a sysop, is there anything else I need to read other than BluWiki:Sysop? --KaiAdin 05:56, 3 April 2007 (EDT)
Woah! Thanks, First order of business would be to go through Category:Pages to delete --KaiAdin 01:50, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
Hey, sorry to message you again, Am I allowed to Block people? Just wondering because, Evo Magazine Forum Wiki/go/Evo Magazine Forum Wiki/ and Evo Magazine Forum Wiki/ claims to be a place to add links to raise Google rankings, but its just full of porn and money spam
What length of time is appropriate as well? --KaiAdin 03:46, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
Oh! Tricky they've added a "/" onto the Legitimate Evo Magazine Forum Wiki page defintely Spam, will delete and block those Ip addresses (er 1 month I guess) --KaiAdin 03:54, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
- Generally I block IPs for 1 year if they're definitely spam. You'll also want to watch the page, because usually they'll come back and spam again from a different IP. Oh, and if the page has only been used for spam, sometimes I'll protect it from anon edits. --Sam Odio 16:33, 4 April 2007 (EDT)
Shock Sites Mature Template
Oh yea, sure, i can do that. --KaiAdin 10:46, 5 April 2007 (EDT)
A Message For You.
1. Nobody has ever been fined for that.
2. It's only illegal if you trick somebody into viewing them.
3. Wikipedia does not have a mature content warning.
4. You are not making any sense.
5. The page already has several warnings.
6. If this was true, all shock sites would be illegal.
7. There are a million more reasons why you're not making any sense.
8. I can prove you wrong a million more times, if you'd like
Not to mention, the page basically, mostly IS a bunch of warnings, in of itself.--Metropolisforever
- Thanks, just go ahead and leave the mature warning up for me. Appreciate it! --Sam Odio 00:59, 6 April 2007 (EDT)
- Okay, I will leave it up. ^_^ I just want you to know that you cannot be fined and/or impisoned if somebody takes it down. The template is currently being used on three different pages at the moment. You really should add it to my Vandalism/Example on Wheels! page. Thanks! ^_^--Metropolisforever 12:27, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
Oh, Shocker already added it to the page... ^_^--Metropolisforever 12:29, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
I'm really sorry for doing all those bad things. =^_^= I'll never do them again, I swear! ^_^--Metropolisforever 21:03, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
Dunno what to make of these three (and possibly more) users User:126.96.36.199 User:22.214.171.124 and User:18.104.22.168, 90% of their contributions are Porn weblinks, and the other 10% weblinks to online dictionarys, Frees essays and all sorts of other odd links, It sort of looks like spam, but dosent have the usual spam vibe, I think ill block them, but I'm not sure if I should delete those pages, they could be making a porn wiki, but I doubt it, as the pages are not linked to each other... --KaiAdin 06:16, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
- Oh User:126.96.36.199 hasn't been posting porn ]http://bluwiki.com/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User:18.104.22.168], so he seems innocent, wont block him just yet. --KaiAdin 06:20, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
- I probably wouldn't block them. Giving users the freedom to say whatever they want is an important part of BluWiki. However, like in real life, the freedom to say whatever you want doesn't give you the right to vandalize someone else's house.
- What this means is that I generally don't block users, unless they're vandalizing the pages of others. Generally, it's OK to link to your own site from BluWiki. But if you've added your own links to someone else's page, then that would be vandalism and is not ok.
- These guys, though, are the exception. I don't apply the "vandalism" test here. Instead, I revert the edits and block the IP for 1 year, regardless of whether or not they were editing a new page.
- Here are some unique characteristics of these edits, so you'll know what I'm talking about:
- They often hide the edits with the code <div id="ebalvasvrot" style="overflow :auto;height:1px;">
- They often make similar edits from several different IP address, with the intent of making it harder to block their contributions
- These edits will consist of nothing but 10-50 links
- What these guys are doing is installing viruses on the computers of innocent internet users, turning them into zombies. They then control hundreds of these computers and use them to make automated spam contributions on thousands of different sites.
- These guys have been vandalizing BluWiki's pages for a while, and as a result, I revert their edits & block them - even if their current contribs are not actually vandalism. They're just not welcome here. --Sam Odio 09:56, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
- Oh Ok, I get it now, I didn't really know what i was looking for before thanks, --KaiAdin 01:02, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
Comments on My User Page.
For some reason, you and Shocker have placed comments on my user page, instead of my user talk page. Can you please delete my user page, and move the comments to my user talk page?
Thanks! ^_^--Metropolisforever 18:32, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
- Done! --Sam Odio 19:53, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
Shock Sites
WOW, this page is like a magnet for vandals!--Metropolisforever 11:15, 8 April 2007 (EDT)
- Would you like me to re-protect the page from anonymous edits? --Sam Odio 12:48, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
- Yes, please re-protect the page, because the page is vandalized by anynomous users, several times, every day.
Thanks! ^_^--Metropolisforever 19:39, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
Oh, yea, I had the Recent Changes open on a separate tab when I'm around on Bluwiki, and i had watched VGOC ever since I noticed their 'Improvement drive'. Dunno about User:184.108.40.206 but I think he/she has having a vandalising spree, so i just blocked him put an end to the mess before it got annoying. -- KaiAdin 06:03, 16 April 2007 (EDT)
Hi. I'm requesting Sysop access, so that I can police [my wiki 1] and [my wiki 2]. The first, once it goes live, will probably become a hotspot for vandals (it's a school site). And the fact that Sysop is a nicer word than Registered User...
Oh, and I'm glad I'm not the only person that has heard of Two Roads Diverged In A Yellow Wood!

- Small paragraph of a reply at: User Talk:Microchip08-- KaiAdin 07:23, 4 May 2007 (EDT)
Hello again
With regard to Sysops, I'd rewrite the Wikipedia helppages, if that helps Bluwiki. I would help with things like the Main Page, but I'm not very good at template coding. :-). Microchip08 06:27, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
P.S. My Wikipedia Userpage can be found [here], if you're interested.

Teresa Tam Studio - San Francisco Bay Area, Boston Photographer
Teresa Tam started photography in the late 1990's, and then began photographing performing artists in 2006 while she was working on her masters in vocal performance at Boston University. Later she found her true photographic strength in portraiture during her intensive studies at the Boston University Center for Digital Imaging Arts. The background in music as a performer herself allow her to relate and connect with artists of all kinds. Perfectionism and sensitivities from her extensive performing arts experience gave her the unique abilities to translate each personÂ's personality in the most polished, yet genuine look onto the photographs. Great portrait is an image "about" the person, not just "of" the person. Most of us feel vulnerable and intimated in front of the big camera. Teresa make the effort to really communicate with her subject to instill trust and help them relax and have fun at the shoot. Teresa handle the consultation, photo shoot, as well as the post production to ensure the best possible quality of your final images. Whether you are looking for artist/business head shot, promotional shots, engagement, wedding, concerts, or just a beautiful piece of fine art image for your wall, all end products will be polished and tailored to your exact needs.

Testimony: "You feature such softness in your picture portraits. What a fortunate blessing for your subjects" - Dr.Penelope V. Flores "Teresa, I had a great time working with you and absolutely love your photos! You have such a wonderful eye and a rare talent for capturing beauty and personality" - Sarah Paysnick "Your work is exquisite. Your understanding of light and shadow reminds me of the old masters, old films as well. It is the mark of artistry, not just talent" - Wendy L. Geffner-Smith "I am constantly AMAZED at your talent, but more so for your heart" - Dana Kong "You capture the possibilities with your talent" - Keng Wong "Teresa Tam photographed and recorded students who participated in our music education program in urban Boston schools - 'Classroom Cantatas.' "She truly captured the process, both in audio and visually, of fourth graders composing and singing their own songs, and she artfully arranged her portrait into a DVD montage of the program. "Teresa also took the time to interview students, teachers and teaching artists in the program, so that her portrait presented the most thorough and deep understanding of what was happening in 'Classroom Cantatas'. "Teresa has helped our organization spread the word about the program; we use it regularly to introduce funders and others to what we do in this long-term sophisticated music residency. "And they 'get it' - both the soul and the nuts and bolts of it - when they view Teresa's work." - Judy Bose, Cantata Singers
- The year 2013 continues to be filled with many exciting events for Teresa Tam Studio. We did a series of new on location head shots for the staffs at Draeger's Cooking School in San Mateo. The portraits we created were bright, fresh, modern, and authentic. I collaborated again with Lumitone Photography and Videography to photograph a wedding at the beautiful Meritage Hotel and Resort in Napa California. Late June I went away for a week to Jazz Camp West part of a program of Living Jazz in La Honda California. It was eight days of nonstop music and learning in the YMCA camp Jones Gulch. Now that I am back to the swing of things, we are planning a new set of housewares photography for Draeger's Market website.
April continue to be quite busy for Teresa Tam Studio. In addition to photographing the Draeger's Cooking School in San Mateo, we did an environmental portraiture shoot for their human resource department. The new images will enhance and update Draeger's career opportunities page on their website (www.draegers.com) for them to attract new qualified employees. The following week Mills College in Oakland invited me back to photograph their Mills Alumnae Quarterly Magazine Reading and Writing issue. We also photographed the last Herbst Theatre concert before the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center's major renovation for the next two and a half years. This last concert featured Classical guitarist Pepe Romero and it was presented by Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts and San Francisco Performance.April 16, 2013
March to April has been a whirlwind of spring. I wrapped up with month of March photographing the concert of the famous Beijing Guitar Duo at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music presented by Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts presented in association with San Francisco Performance. April began with documenting the semi-final of the Jazz Search West competition at the brand new SFJazz Center presented by Living Jazz. In the same week, I photograph the family owned gourmet Draeger's Market's Cooking School for their exciting launch of the new website. The following week I got hired by PS Communication to cover event photography and portraits at the national sales meeting for Treasury Wine Estate at the beautiful Meritage Hotel and Resort in Napa California. I even got to document the unveiling of Ampoule Project by the Austrailian Winery, Penfolds To wrap up the weekend, I photographed one of the most musical classical guitarist Vladimir Gorbach at the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center Green Room Check out photo highlights, please visit my photo gallery at http://teresatamstudio.photoshelter.com/gallery-collection/Omni-Concerts-2012-2013/C0000bFSscE2_qgU).March 28, 2013
February and March involved a lot of traveling. Before I went on the road, I photographed a regular rehearsal of the San Francisco Civic Symphony to help them build more presences and publicity materials. Later I had the pleasure to photograph a winter wedding outside of Boston Massachusetts at the famous historic Old Sturbridge Village. The wedding had an incredibly intimate and warm atmosphere just like the lovely couple. After surviving the freezing blizzard in Boston, I headed west to warm sunny Phoenix Arizona. In addition to visiting my beautiful family, I photographed the friendly staffs and office space of the brand new South Valley Dentistry. The annual Ostrich Festival in Chandler AZ was a blast and an incredible opportunities for me to create a collection of family portraits of my adorable nieces and nephew. My AZ trip ended with my first Spring Training game of the San Francisco Giants at the Scottsdale Stadium.February 11, 2013
I feel both overwhelmed and inspired after an incredible ten day trip to NAMM, Josuhua Tree National Park, Phonix, Tucson, Sadona, and Grand Canyon. It was an eye-opening experience to have seen an artist like Miyavi performing live at the Taylor Guitars show. The visit throughout all the stunning landscape in Arizona had helped me crossed off a few items on my bucket list. Even as a professional photographer, I still could not do justice of the vast creation of nature. I came back in town just in time for the Super Bowl so I could cheer on my San Francisco 49ers. As disappointed as I was with the outcome of the game, I was able to drown my sorrow in the legendary guitarist Tommy Emmanuel's music at the Palace of Fine Arts Theater. This was my second year of photographing his performance presented by the Omni Foundation of performing arts and his artistry continues to elevate.January 2, 2013
January has come and it is very exciting now that the new year has come. I look forward to attending the National Association of music merchants conventionin Anaheim California later this month. It would be so much fun photographing anything and everything music related. There will be performances of legendary and upcoming musicians sponsored by music companies of all sorts. In addition to event photograph, I will look for unique portrait / photo opportunities as well.December 14, 2012
December is in motion and holiday madness is in full force. To continue documenting Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts. I photographed one of the most distinguished and esteemed Japanese classical guitarists of all time - SHIN-ICHI FUKUDA at Herbst Theatre presented in association with San Francisco Performance. In addition to photographing legendary guitarist, I had a fun wacky rock n' roll shoot with my client Mike Gillespie, who is the director of WINE BY AIR INTERNATIONAL, Inc., a Wine Transportation Specialists. He is an inspired singer-songwriter who is looking to show off his crazy glam cowboy 80's image. We did location head shots, promotional photos all over the SF Bay Area. The images will be featured on his brand new album.November 27, 2012
Tts been an eventful and exciting holiday season. In the category of entertainment photography, I had the distinc pleasure of photographing the impressive Brazil Guitar Duo. João Luiz and Douglas Lora delivered a dynamic and seamless performance for the audiences of the Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts at the The Green Room at the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center. Within the same weekend, I also documented the Americano Music Duo Melody Walker and Jacob Groopman headlining at the famous Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley . The following week I had a day long epic photo shoot for my favorite Japanese restaurant Kobe Sake in San Bruno. The chefs created stunning speciality crazy rolls, Nigiris, and various tasty appetizers for me to photograph. We also shot documentary style for action shots of them creating their food. It would not be a Teresa Tam Studio shoot if we did not also create beautiful portraits of the chefs to go with the tantalizing food photography.November 12, 2012
Now that the election is over, we can look forward to the upcoming holiday madness coming up. My client Cecilia Lam took me out to out to dinner at St. Vincent to thank me for documenting her wedding at San Francisco City Hall and Santa Rosa Rancho Wikiup ranch. It made me feel just how important and meaningful my job is as a photographer. I am also looking forward to my corporate headshot session. Our goal is to modernize and update my client's look. It will propel his career and confidence upward.October 26, 2012
This week began with a fantastic outdoor promotional photoshoot for two young and vibrant guitarists - Duo SF. Robert O'Connor Miller and Christopher Mallett are not only a dynamic guitar duo, they also run the successful The California Conservatory of Guitar. We decided to shoot at Golden Gate Park first by the amphitheater, and then by the de Young Museum. I will be photographing the second concert of the Omni Foundation of Performing Arts Dynamite Guitar series. It will be featuring the Pacific Guitar Ensemble at the War Memorial and Performing Arts Center Green Room. The members consist of guitarts David Tanenbaum, Peppino D'Agostino, Marc Teicholz, Lawrence Ferrara, Michael Bautista, Jon Mendle, Paul Psarras and Antoniy KakamakovOctober 9, 2012
With the start of fall season, the concert season began as well. The week began with an amazing concert of Brazilian singer, pianist, and composer Clarice Assad at the San Francisco Yoshi's. Later in the week I attended the season opener concert of the Berkeley Symphony at the Zellerbach Hall. The orchestra premiered an unique and thrilling Quadrachord concerto composed by Paul Dresher. Conductor Joana Carneiro was commanding, elegant, and impressive. Friday night I got to photographed the season opener concert of the Omni Foundation Dynamite Guitar Series featuring the legendary Odair Assad at San Francisco Conservatory of Music. As a surprise, SFCM's guitar faculty and Odair's famous Assad Duo brother Sergio Assad performed a set of Duo pieces for the excited audiences. It was a surreal experience and an honor to photograph one of the most iconic Guitar Duo in the world. I look forward to document all the world class musicians in the upcoming season.September 20, 2012
Counting down to the beautiful fall season here in San Francisco Bay Area. The Wedding I photographed at Casa Real Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton California was a great success. My new Nikon D800 is opening up new shooting possibilities such as extreme low light situation and broadcast quality 1080p HD videos. With new concert season beginning, I am excited to photographing world class musicians performing in the Dynamite Guitars concert of The Omni Foundation for the Performing Arts. I will also have the pleasure to document various concerts for the San Francisco Chamber Orchestra. With my new portable lighting equipment of the ELINCHROM Ranger Quadra, I plan to take my creativity to more extreme outdoor locations. With the help of beautiful sassy dancer Chelsea Martin, together we will elevate and expand my styles of narrative portraiture.September 14, 2012
Feeling a bit shocked that the summer came and went already. I am looking forward to photographing a wedding taking place at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton California. I am excited to see what my Nikon D800 is capable of in the various lighting situation. Later this month I will get to document an important annual alumni event at Mills College. I will again have the pleasure to work with the Stanford Jazz Festival's big fund raiser in Woodside featuring performances of legendary Jazz Musicians. Of course there will be more portrait designs and head shots too. I may have a chance to collaborate with founder of Fandalism Philip Kaplan on his modern non-traditional corporate head shot. I am pumped !September 4, 2012
Feeling fulfilled and blessed wrapping up the summer and Labor day weekend photographing elegant weddings at San Francisco City Hall and the historic Rancho Wikiup in Santa Rosa. The words wedding guests use to describe the images were stunning, breathtaking, and even "to die for." After documenting all the wonderful festivities with amazing musicians, I am back working on the finishing touches of the corporate headshots I shot in Boston. After all the hard work this summer, a much deserved upgrade is happening soon. Teresa Tam Photography Studio will have even more fun and flexibilities shooting on location with the new Elinchrom Ranger Quadra Pro Set Light and Nikon D800 DSLR.August 21, 2012
After my east coast trip to Pittsburgh and Boston, Teresa Tam Studio dove straight into photographing the Stanford Jazz Festival concerts and workshops. It was inspiring to document the numerous magical moments between musicians and audiences. I was especially excited to be capturing dynamic images that speaks volume for their next year's poster, brochure, website, and marketing materials. The rest of the summer is going to be filled with book author head shots, lovely couple's engagement session, and beautiful city hall and ranch style wedding with yummy food trucks.July 1, 2012
Photoshoot with the author of The Dig, Michael Siemsen
Teresa Tam Photography Studio can not be happier with the stunning portraits and promotional photos we created for the author of The Dig, Michael Siemsen. In additional to designing modern head shots for him, we created a series mysterious, striking, and powerful environmental portraitures that will be used to promote his upcoming book sequel. As a specialist of music/performance photographing, we are so excited to be photographing live concerts of world class musicians at the Stanford Jazz Workshop this summer. It is part of our mission as photographer to help document and present the arts/music community in the best possible light. The next step for us is to bring sexy back into the professional business corporate world and revolutionize the standard of corporate head shots.June 15, 2012
Center for Digital Imaging Arts
Prior to CDIA, I received my masters in vocal performance from Boston University College of Fine Arts. I met a BU Photojournalism grad at a rehearsal for our big annual concert at the Boston Symphony Hall and she recommend me to check out CDIA.
During my time at CDIA, I invited some of my musician friends as my models when I was in my portrait modules. After graduation, I continued working with numerous artists. My favorite part of each project is building connection with my subject way before I point my camera at them. Through understanding their personalities, hopes, dreams, and fears, I then can tailor the photo shoots to their specific photographic needs. My experience helped me realized that portraitures is truly what I enjoy creating most.
Growing up immersed in music, I have always enjoyed the differences and beauty that subtle details can make. Through the past few years, I fond my sensibilities and aesthetics from musical background translated into to my images. Began mostly with standard head shots, it wasn't long before I started experimenting with environmental portraiture. Due to the limited access to equipment, my shoot style evolved to using mostly natural light and portable lightings that are economical. My philosophy is to create maximum impact with minimum amount of gears.

Third Child
I can't claim that my parents didn't love me. I'm not one of those lucky kids who get to use that as an excuse to justify their shoplifting and array of tattoos. My parents loved me they just didn't watch me very carefully. If some parents hover mine hot air ballooned, miles above my head just close enough to detect large movements but far enough away to miss the strange things I did as a child. For example, as a wee one I found joy in digging up earth worms, tying them up in plastic baggies with little pink ribbons, hanging them on my bedside lamp and staring up at them with wonder. Was I trying to fry them? No, though this inevitably occurred every time. I was merely fascinated by the creatures. This odd habit did not come to light until one evening my mother summoned me to the car for our annual trip to the circus. "I'm busy," I casually remarked, which caused her to pause as four year olds typically don't have anything to be busy with. I was given a talk about respecting nature and, a few short weeks later, I was given a pet collie in the hopes that it would satisfy my need for animal companionship. Another example of this mild parental neglect was reflected in the clothing I chose to wear in grades five through eight. My parents allowed me to leave the house wearing things like pirate shirts paired with floor length skirts and necklaces made from drain stoppers. I wasn't one to snub any fashion so I followed the ranks of my fictional friends in Harry Potter and took to wearing cloaks. As a kid who biked to school I'm sure I looked something like the love child of the Wicked Witch of the West and Lance Armstrong. I didn't just bring my ridiculously dressed self to class, though. I also proudly presented some of the worst book projects the school had ever seen. There was no need to worry that my parents had completed the project for me like some of my class mates' parents did. I'm sure my parents, had they been the ones toiling at the kitchen table with Elmer's and construction paper at three in the morning, would have completed far superior projects than did their spawn. I turned in such wonders as a stuffed dog duct taped to a discarded orange crate, which served as a book report on a story I had read about dogs. Another winning attempt was my poster on garnets, which I had accidentally spelled ganrets in bold red letters. Needless to say, my teachers were unimpressed and most likely concerned. Never a quitter, I searched for inspiration for my next report. A girl in the grade above me had once brought in a live kangaroo for a book report. She had the good fortune of being born into a family of zoo keepers rather than sales people and was lauded by all the teachers for her endless creativity. In fourth grade I hatched a plan to wow the teachers just as she had. However, with one cat and one dog I had a limited menagerie to choose from. I took the feline route, figuring Snowflake's delicate frame would be easier to haul than my fat terrier. Boy did I feel clever smuggling Snowflake to school in an old Easter basket and blanket. I asked my teacher if I could present my project first that day. The project, or rather performance, consisted of a friend asking Snowflake questions while I, hidden under a desk, answered them. I achieved the talking animal effect by putting a dab of peanut butter in Snowflake's mouth just before the show. My audience was effectively wowed and all was well until I realized I had not planned on what to do with the cat post performance. I attempted to open a classroom window to set her free, but Mrs. Gift intercepted this action pretty quickly. "She seemed like she needed some air," I explained. Eight short minutes later my mother was there to pick up the cat. She neither yelled at me nor congratulated me on my stellar performance. No, as she drove away with an angry cat in the trunk I'm sure she was wondering, not for the first time, why she had decided to have a third child.

Gang of 8 plots path to supermajority
Senate immigration negotiators are targeting as many as two dozen Republicans for a show-of-force majority — which they believe may be the only way a reform bill will have the momentum to force the House to act.
Reform proponents are looking for votes far beyond the usual moderate suspects to senators in conservative bastions such as Utah, Georgia and Wyoming. The senators landed on the list because they're retiring, representing agricultural states, anxious to get the issue behind the party, important to persuading skittish House Republicans or all of the above.
Story Continued Below
( PHOTOS: 20 quotes on immigration reform)
But bringing along many of these staunchly conservative targets will require almost flawless execution by the Gang of Eight, along with lots of political momentum, a few more Democratic concessions and, perhaps above all else, the continued backing of Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.).
Senators and their immigration reform allies insist the goal of 70-plus votes laid out last month by Gang of Eight leaders Sens. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and John McCain (R-Ariz.) is more than just attainable under the right circumstances — it's imperative. The legislative strategy for passing a bill is based largely on the theory that an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote in the Senate is essential to getting it through the Republican-controlled House.
( PHOTOS: Pols react to immigration deal)
Schumer is trying to persuade Republicans by emphasizing what's already in the bill, such as an overhaul to the agricultural visa program that the industry endorsed. Rubio is pressing the Judiciary Committee , which will take up the bill this week, to strengthen the border security requirements. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) may address concerns about the Boston bombings with an amendment mandating broader background checks for so-called high-risk immigrants.
"Once you start to see the momentum that has been behind this — and that we anticipate will continue through the mark-up and onto the floor — I think that it's going be the type of thing where a lot of Republicans will want to jump all at the same time," said Marshall Fitz, an immigration policy strategist at the liberal Center for American Progress.
The loose vote-counting exercise underway among lawmakers and advocacy groups is both preliminary and based on many variables.
( Also on POLITICO: Behind the immigration rhetoric)
There's no track record with many of the targets. Only five of the 23 Republicans who voted for final passage of a reform bill in 2006 are still in office. That group includes McCain, Graham, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
So much is not known: how the bill markup in the Senate Judiciary Committee plays out, to what extent the Gang of Eight succeeds in defending its careful compromise, and whether Democrats insist on a gay rights amendment that could cause Republicans to flee.

(New to the Clementino saga? Start at the beginning.)
With my supply of Bubu Lubus at dangerously low levels, and my attempts to find another local dealer of my favorite Mexican candy having failed, I swallowed my pride and found myself outside Clementino's store. Weeks had passed since our last encounter – since the day he had gotten into a shouting match with my husband. Carlos granted me permission to go to the store on the condition that I "act like una mujer casada and not like a school girl." … Fair enough.
The bells on the door tinkling behind me, I went inside the small dimly lit store. As I got in line behind a little woman wiring money, Clementino looked up and smiled. There on the counter top sat the familiar blue box full of Bubu Lubus – his previous threat to no longer sell them had only been a bluff meant to make me feel badly for not accepting his piropo.
The woman in front of me shuffled out of the store and I approached the counter.
"Buenas tardes," I said.
"Buenas tardes…¿Qué quieres?" he asked in a friendly way, lifting his chin toward me.
"Cinco dólares en Bubu Lubus," I said, looking at the box.
"Cinco dólares…en… Bubu Lubus," he repeated, taking the box down and counting them out on the counter.
I thought about saying something, about asking why he had been so rude to my husband that day – but what acceptable excuse could there be? I asked no questions and he offered no apologies. The unspoken thing sat between us like an unseemly fence between good neighbors.
After a moment passed, Clementino cleared his throat. Breaking the silence, he finally said what was on both our minds.
"Estás enojada conmigo."
"No, no estoy enojada," I replied, immediately chastising myself for being too nice.
"Sí, estás enojada," Clementino insisted, "porque ya no vienes a visitarme como antes."
"Bueno, estoy un poco enojada," I said. He lifted his eyes from the counter top and looked at me.
Before he could say anything and before I could lose my courage, I forced myself to say what I knew I should.
"Portaste muy mal con mi esposo," I said, tsking him.
"No," he said shaking his head.
"Sí," Now it is I who insists. "Sí, portaste mal."
Clementino switches to English as he slides my debit card through the machine.
"Your husband said I sold the phone cards to him, but I didn't," he said meekly. "You came that day – not your husband. I never saw your husband that day. Maybe he bought the cards from my wife, but he said I sold them to him, and I didn't."
"Yes, you did. Yo estaba en el carro cuándo él venia a comprarlas. Bien recuerdo que fue tú."
Clementino shakes his head, puts the receipt and pen on the counter. I sign while he puts the Bubu Lubus into a small, black plastic bag.
He holds the bag hostage as he tells me, "He came with your mother-in-law. Your mother-in-law always has problems with the phone cards – nobody else. If she was a more regular customer, I would care, but she only comes for the phone cards and to cause problems. N'hombre. I don't care about her."
I'm not sure what he expects me to say. Not liking my Suegra didn't give him the right to yell at my husband that day. I look at Clementino. He doesn't apologize. Qué terco. He shrugs as he hands me the bag.
"Okay then," I say, sighing. "Hasta luego."
He lifts his chin in my direction and mumbles "hasta luego."
Standing on the sidewalk in front of the store, blinking against the bright afternoon sunlight, I feel a little like a deflated balloon. Clementino ya no me quiere… this is a good thing… but I was so hoping we could go back to being friends.

New group brings ex-CIA boss to unite green biz
Workers of the green world, unite!
A new chapter of a national group hopes to bring together the various and at times cacophonous-sounding green businesses of Central Virginia, and it's bringing a former CIA director to its launch event this week at the Jefferson Theater.
James Woolsey, who has recently become something of an exponent of the need for energy security will speak on the topic, "Could Muir, Patton, and Gandhi agree on a program?"
The group is called the Clean Economy Network, and the local chapter co-chair, Amos Gilkey, says that Woolsey is a natural choice for his group which plans "a coordinated and business oriented approach" to the green economy.
The kickoff event happens 6 to 8pm on Thursday, September 9 at the Jefferson Theater.
–Note: As a commenter points out, the initial draft of this story omitted the name of the group. Also, we first gave Gilkey the wrong title; he's co-chair, not president of the local chapter of the Clean Economy Network.

Author Ruth R. Wisse will be making several appearances in the next couple of months to discuss her new book, No Joke: Making Jewish Humor. In this book, Ruth Wisse evokes and applauds the genius of spontaneous Jewish joking–as well as the brilliance of comic masterworks by writers like Heinrich Heine, Sholem Aleichem, Isaac Babel, S. Y. Agnon, Isaac Bashevis Singer, and Philip Roth. At the same time, Wisse draws attention to the precarious conditions that have called Jewish humor into being–and the price it may exact from its practitioners and audience.
The next two events will be held in November, the first being November 20th at 7:00 PM at the APJCC Auditorium in Silicon Valley. To learn more about the event, click here.
The second event will be held at the Jewish Community Center of San Francisco on November 21st at 7:00 PM. To learn more about the event, click here.
For both events, Wisse will discuss "No Joke: Making Jewish Humor," her book about the most celebrated of all Jewish responses to modernity. Ruth R. Wisse is the Martin Peretz Professor of Yiddish Literature and professor of comparative literature at Harvard University. She is the author of The Modern Jewish Canon: A Journey through Language and Culture, which won a National Jewish Book Award. Her other books include Jews and Power (Schocken) and The Schlemiel as Modern Hero.

Iran's Ayatollah rejected nuclear talks with US; Russian jets breach Japanese airspace; Chinese crackdown on self-immolations in ethnic Tibetan regions; Mercosur and Canada work towards free trade agreement; and more
Top of the Agenda: Iran's Ayatollah Rejects Nuclear Talks
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, rejected on Thursday an offer of direct talks (Reuters) made by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden this week, saying they would not resolve issues between the two countries. Biden, speaking at a security conference in Munich, said the United States was prepared to meet bilaterally with the Iranian leadership. Khamenei's statement could also affect the negotiations in Kazakhstan (AP) later this month between Iran and a six-nation group composed of the permanent UN Security Council members, plus Germany.
"President Obama needs to realign U.S. relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran as thoroughly as President Nixon realigned relations with the People's Republic of China in the early 1970s. Simply 'talking' to Iran will not accomplish this," write Flynt and Hillary Leverett for Reuters.
"The Iranian leadership's real worry is not American planes but Iranian protesters. Their deepest anxieties revolve around a Persian version of Tahrir Square, a replay of the 2009 Green uprising that wasn't ended by the regime's violent repression. Strange as it may sound, the Islamic Republic is a lot more frightened of the imprisoned Iranian human rights activist Nasrin Sotoudeh than it is of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," writes Alireza Nader for the New York Times.
"[America's] economic and military realities argue intensely against attacking the Islamic republic and for muddling through by, perhaps, further tightening sanctions that have cut deeply into Tehran's economy," writes Steven Hurst for the Associated Press.
Russian Jets Breach Japanese Airspace
Two Russian fighter jets flew into Japanese airspace (KyodoNews) off Hokkaido on Thursday, prompting the government to lodge a protest against Russia over the incident. The incident comes just after Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made conciliatory remarks (AFP) about signing a peace treaty with Moscow.
CHINA: Chinese authorities detained seventy people in a crackdown (Reuters) on self-immolations in ethnic Tibetan regions, the largest single reported sweep of suspects to date.

Good day fellow atheists!
My question to you today: What was the final moment, action or realization that made you completely confident in your deconversion. In other words, what pushed you from agnostic (or belief, if it was sudden for you) to atheist.
For me it was a realization in philosophy class while we were studying philosophy of religion. Seeing how the arguments against god seemed much more logical and sound pushed me into a complete confidence. Since then I have been doing research to further my understanding of atheism and religion.
Views: 1053
Hahaha, yeah I've been close to those moments too. I have managed to hold my tongue so far but this moment will come for me too! XD
How did your sister take the news?
For me, I'd been raised christian (Presbyterian), so I had no reason to not be christian because I didn't know anything else. The seeds of disbelief began to be planted in 6th grade when we were learning about ancient greek and roman gods and how they were created as a way to explain the unexplained. This started me thinking and wondering what made Christianity any different. I stuck with Christianity in the end, but gradually grew out of it just like i'd grown out of believing in Santa.
After I graduated high school I went to England and spent a 5th year at a boarding school out there. I experienced for the first time a christianity other than that I'd grown up with. Church had always been a place of good people, love, learning morality, and having a personal relationship with god and jesus. The church services I attended in England were more similar to catholisism in the way that the services were very ritualistic and traditional. I absolutely hated that aspect to the service and it made it all feel incredibly fake and pointless to me.
It also finally hit home that Christianity was only as good as how people interpret it...so my church at home had been great not because of anything to do with the bible, but instead because of the people. Every place I went, there was a different version of christianity, and with so many versions, it couldn't be anything true, instead it was just human interpretations. If you strip away all the aspects that make church religious, you are left with either nothing, or in the case of a genuinely good church, people learning to be better people and loving each other; all things that can be done, and can be done better, without religion.
As i said before, about growing out of religion, it was somehting that became common sense as I matured, became more educated, and left fantasies behind. I have zero patience now for religion as I can't help seeing religious people as childish and in denial of the truth.
While attending Catholic elementary school, I got a steaming heap of Jesus served up on a daily basis. I quickly realized that the story being pushed was less coherent than my comic books, and not nearly as cool as the gods in Bullfinch's Mythology, or in my beaten-up copy of Deities & Demigods. It got me thinking, and I was a geeky kid that also liked science. I didn't have a defining moment, but it became clear pretty quickly that claims with evidence to back them up had alot more credibility than claims that were clearly fantasy. Unconvincing, poorly planned & inconsistent fantasies at that. I was a solidly self-identified atheist in the middle of redneck land before 7th grade.
After living out of my truck for six months in one of the toughest cities in the country, I took a long look at myself and everything I had accomplished with my hard work, blood, sweat, and tears and I realized I had done it all on my own and I was not going to give any fucking credit to a piece of shit god that was leaving countless of others suffering in those streets.
I had been reading Carlos Castaneda and I was learning to look into myself for power and wisdom and that is exactly where I had found it. Funny story that goes with that... In one of Castaneda's books some Fundie pasted a Christian message on the first page of the book calling it a lie and words from the devil sent to turn us away from Christ. I laughed and complained to the Librarian.
Which website is that?
Prior to my profound experience that I am about to share, I was already most comfortable with the term "atheist" but still struggled with defending myself against religious bullying. Pregnant with my third child, I was determined to manifest a painless birth experience. My prenatal journey began with a hypnosis session where my sub-conscious mind was given an opportunity to view labor and birth differently. The unasssisted home birth of my son was not only painless, it was orgasmic! Not a whisper of physical discomfort accompanied the descent of this sacred child. My manifestation of the perfect birth defied God's curse against women that we shall know pain and complication in child-birth all the days of their lives...I am eternally grateful that I am not bound by that vicious scene at the garden, all on account of some little apple!
I could never understand how people could believe the story of Adam and Eve and the apple etc. Especially over the theory of evolution.
So you're a theist?
For me it was when I allowed myself to doubt in the first place. That opened a door or a window or whatever for me to actually look at other options. I had always doubted, since I was a child none of it made sense, but I wouldn't even admit it to myself for fear of god hearing my thoughts and spitting me out of his mouth someday. lol. Once I allowed myself that freedom to doubt, I started learning about all the other religion(s) of the world (from the world instead of from the xtian community/church.) I allowed myself to realize that the bible-god was just one of many beliefs and it was unlikely that it happened to be the right one, but I was still afraid to actually admit that to myself. I still wanted to believe and not burn in a possible hell so I started thinking that maybe just the book was wrong, but there still was a god or something out there.
I think the final thing that hit me and pushed me to be this 6/7 atheist that I am today was the realization that I had been asking god to help me for twenty years and he never did. Science has helped me more in a week than god did in all the years I could form words into prayer.

The week in review
Smallest tax cut: City Manager Gary O'Connell and Vice Mayor Kevin Lynch propose reducing Charlottesville's tax rate of $1.09 per $100 to $1.05– in the face of real estate assessments that have increased about 26 percent since the last rate reduction in 2003.
Newest road: On March 7, City Council approves the Hillsdale Drive Connector that will link Fashion Square Mall and Hydraulic Road without the need to get on U.S. 29.
Newest Visitors: Governor Mark Warner plans to name Alan Diamonstein from Newport News, A. Macdonald Caputo of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Vincent J. Mastracco of Norfolk to UVA's Board of Visitors, and reappoint Thomas F. Farrell II from Richmond, according to Bob Gibson in the Daily Progress.
Biggest lawsuit: The family of Thomas M. Cameron, the Louisa 10th grader killed February 9 when his school bus crashed, has filed a $10-million suit against the driver, Lorrie Ann Batten, and the Louisa School Board, Braxton Williams reports in the Progress.
Most competent: Jessica Fugett, 17, declares she's ready to stand trial for the February 2003 murders of her Crozet neighbors, Nola Charles and her three-year-old son. Fugett, who has undergone therapy for almost a year, faces first-degree murder and arson charges. Her brother, Rocky Fugett, who's already pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder, is expected to be the chief witness against her, according to Liesel Nowak in the Progress.
Worst knock on the door: Two men pull a gun on a 67-year-old Crozet woman who'd invited them into her home March 4 after they asked for one of her sons. The men hold her for 10 minutes until she escapes.
Worst case of love gone sour: Amy Wharton is arrested for the June robbery of Dominion Square Bank & Trust in Culpeper when an ex-boyfriend turns her in to the police.
Most vicious chimpanzee attack: A California man, St. James Davis, loses all of his fingers, an eye, part of his nose, cheek, buttocks, and has his foot mutilated on a visit to an animal sanctuary. His wife, LaDonna, loses a thumb on the ill-fated visit to see Moe, a 39-year-old chimp they raised as their son. Two other male chimps, Ollie and Buddy, are blamed for the March 3 free-for-all, and experts speculate the apes were jealous of Moe's birthday cake.
Most startling revelation: That chimps, which stand about four feet high and may weigh around 100 pounds, are five to 10 times stronger than a human.
Best contracts: Ten-year agreements for losing basketball coaches at Virginia Military Institute and UVA. VMI dismisses Bart Bellairs with five years and more than $515,000 remaining, notes the Richmond Times-Dispatch. UVA could have been on the hook for $900,000 a year for Pete Gillen's remaining five years, but last year, the coach allegedly agreed to a lesser buyout in exchange for one more chance to produce a winning team.
Best simile: On UVA's last home basketball game of the season against N.C. State, the Progress' award-winning Jerry Ratcliffe writes, "The loss left Gillen's chances of returning as Virginia's coach about as thin as an Amish phone book."
Worst news for wild swimmers: Owners sell Shenandoah Acres Resort in Stuarts Draft– long known for its bold bounces, high wires, and other swimming sensations at its inland "beach"– possibly for a subdivision or religious retreat.
Biggest release: Martha Stewart leaves the slammer March 4.
Best publicity for a longtime Virginia band: The March 10 Rolling Stone features a photo of Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill wearing a Skip Castro t-shirt.

Except as provided in subsection (b) of this section, a State educational agency is entitled to receive its full allotment of funds under this part for any fiscal year only if the Secretary determines that either the combined fiscal effort per student or the aggregate expenditures within the State, with respect to the provision of free public education for the fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is made, was not less than 90 percent of such combined fiscal effort or aggregate expenditures for the second fiscal year preceding the fiscal year for which the determination is made.
The Secretary shall reduce the amount of the allotment of funds under this part in any fiscal year in the exact proportion by which the State educational agency fails to meet the requirements of subsection (a) of this section by falling below 90 percent of the fiscal effort per student or aggregate expenditures (using the measure most favorable to the State educational agency), and no such lesser amount shall be used for computing the effort or expenditures required under paragraph (1) for subsequent years.

As a former resident of Harbour Grace who went through the entire system, from kindergarten to Grade 12, nuns to brothers, girls then no-girls, I was not in the least surprised to hear the bullying problem continues.
Saddened, yes. But not surprised.
I endured the full 13 years as a victim, from Day 1 in kindergarten, when I was stabbed in the arm with a pencil by another five-year-old, until the final days of Grade 12, when another student decided to practice his WWF wrestling moves on me against my will.
And I wasn't the only one. Everyday, victims marched into the doors to the slaughter: thrown into lockers, pushed down stairs, pounded in the hallways, belongings stolen or simply broken, jabs in class, obscene things written on their clothing, attacks in the bathroom. Ever present was the jailhouse-snitch rule: rat on someone and get beat worse.
Then there were the teachers who made things worse. The ones who participated, by singling out the victims for sarcastic or derisive comments in class. The ones who, while patrolling the hall, joined in the bullying — the most common way is this: victim is thrown into a bank of lockers by the bully; the teacher then punishes the victim for making noise in the hall. There's the teachers who won't act against the bully because the bully is an athlete and has a game/event coming up; and besides, athletes are just goofing around and the victim is a weirdo who deserves to be a target and, anyway, needs to toughen up.
Other teachers, I believe, simply chose not to see the bullying because, like the victims, they feel helpless to stop it.
And the bullying continues outside of the school walls: on the buses, on the walk home, during vacations. Once a victim gets marked they are labelled for life. The adults in the community follow the same rules as the teachers. The now-adult bullies who still live in the area still make snide comments to or about victims, and think everyone needs to lighten up or toughen up.
Don Coombs' response sums up what has always been the reaction in the area: There is no bullying problem.
As if denial makes it disappear.
Don, if a single person says they are bullied, then you have an incident. If many people say it, you have a problem. Period. It doesn't matter how you compare to other schools. What matters is how St. Francis compares to a proper, just society. And the residents in your schools don't feel they live in a proper, just society. They feel like they are living in a prison, with prison rules of survival. So, Don, your job is to fix it, not to deny it.
But there's an even bigger problem here, that of community. What devastates victims is not the individual acts of bullies (the violent attacks, verbal assaults, constant abuse), it is the apathy of those around them. The lack of reaction by witnesses. The denial of the problem. The refusal of people to get involved, either by intervening at the time or by speaking out afterwards. Those who are bullied are re-victimized by all those who refuse to stand up for them. The victims do not feel part of any community: not at school, not on the street, not in the town. They are alienated by a society which doesn't care if they are beaten and humiliated on a regular basis.
Apathy fosters the bullies. It teaches them that they can victimize others without real consequence. THEY are not shamed, punished, or cast out. They do not endure the humiliation of having no one to stand by them. Quite the opposite. They gain respect from their peers, social standing from having a tough reputation, and increased attention from teachers and others through the intervention process. They get to keep their standing as sports heroes, as popular kids, or as "normal." Victims creep down backstreets in fear, abandoned to their fates, while the bullies are accepted into society.
No wonder then that many victims cannot wait for the final day of high school, when parole has finally come through. They cannot wait to flee to a new home, away from the bullies, their collaborators, and their enablers. Away from the community that rejected them for people who thrive on humiliation. The victims leave, never to return. The bullies remain. Such has been the case for at least 40 years, based on the comments these articles have received and on my own experiences.
So ask yourself this:
If for 40 years — nearly three generations — the Harbour Grace/Carbonear area has driven out the victims while sustaining the bullies, what then is the foundation of your towns? Are you a society which simply accepts bullying? Or are you really a community of bullies?
Bullying is not just for teachers and principals and school councils to solve because it is not restricted to schools. It is a communal problem which requires a community solution. As long as bullies are tolerated by your society, and the victims alienated, you will not live in a just and fair society. You will inhabit a community of bullies.
— Jeff Rose-Martland describes himself as a citizen advocate. He writes from St. John's.

Week 3 with Shannon Miller!
Dressed For The Van Meter Wax Museum
We get caught up in the duties and tasks demanding our attention during the day.
There are projects to grade, emails to respond to, meetings to attend, and lesson plans to create. We have responsibilities and people who are counting on us to be the best educators that we can be. And most of all…we have students in our lives who are looking to us for guidance and support.
But what about those "little things"? What about the moments that aren't planned for days in advance or that unexpectedly work into our schedule perfectly? Can they also make an impact on our children's' education? Can they make a difference in their lives? And what about our lives?
One of those "little things" happened at Van Meter last Friday.
The day before, our 4th graders participated in the annual Wax Museum. In this incredible production, each student chooses a deceased person to portray. They investigate, write a speech, create a costume, and prepare for their performance. On presentation day, our students turn into the people they've researched, and we all learn more about the historical impact they had on the world. This production is shared with our student body, parents, and the school community. This time, we also wanted to share it globally, with a class that had become special to us.
Throughout this year, our 4th graders have been connecting with Stephen Gannon's 4th graders in New Hampshire. Stephen and I met last fall on Twitter and he has become a great friend and colleague. We have played State Jeopardy, created Global Poems for Change, and his students taught ours how to use the World Math Day site. Every day his students, Tweeting from @mrgclass, report the weather in their town compared to that of Van Meter and describe special projects they are working on. The relationship that we have formed is important to all of the students, and to the teachers, as well.
On Friday, one of the 4th grade teachers, Staci Braun, emailed me to see if we were going to be able to connect to Stephen's class. At first we didn't know if it would work due to the time difference and scheduling. Then I thought, "What if I ask him if his students could stay after school for a bit to watch the Wax Museum?" I emailed Stephen, and within minutes got the response, "I have several who are calling their parents right now. How long will this last?" I couldn't wait to tell Staci, "And the show goes on!"
Van Meter 4th Graders Presenting To Our New Hampshire Friends
At 2:00pm, Staci brought her students to the secondary library. They were dressed as their character, some carried props, and all of them had smiles on their faces. My high school PLN class and several other secondary students pulled up chairs to watch as well.
Students and Parents In New Hampshire Watching The Wax Museum in Van Meter
Just as Stephen's tweet states below, it was pretty incredible to think that it was a sunny Friday afternoon and there was still a room full of people supporting and caring about our students in Van Meter just as we care about them here.
This experience never would have taken place if we would have followed the lesson plan for the day or darted out of school when the bell rang. It never would have happened if Stephen and I hadn't taken the time to connect these students throughout the year through other activities and experiences.
It never would have happened if we all were caught up in all of the other things that we needed to accomplish that day. We took a chance. We had fun. And we created a memory that will stay with all of our students and their parents for a long time.
This week I challenge you to take a look at everything that is happening around you and pay some attention to the "little things," not just the expected and planned things.
The "little things" are not really so little.
For it is these "little things" that will make all the difference.

@shannonmmiller I love your blog post on our connection. You know…my students are willing to do just about anything for Mrs Miller! Thanks
Thank you, Stephen. What a special day for all of us. Thank you for sharing your amazing students with me. I love these connections.
Wow. The wax museum is cool enough on its own, but it was taken to a huge new level by connecting with @twitter-15455986:disqus and his students. We New Yorkers like to think we know it all but you and your students continue to be an inspiration to this new middle school librarian.
Thank you, Devon. It was a great experience and one that the kids will always remember. 🙂

Dan Walters: Jerry Brown assumes political ownership of drought
America's political executives – presidents, governors and big city mayors – are often judged by how they respond to unanticipated crises.
Thus, then-President George W. Bush's popularity soared after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the nation, then plummeted four years later after an erratic response to deadly Hurricane Katrina.
Closer to home, Gray Davis was recalled from the governorship in 2003, less than a year after winning a second term, due to his mishandling of budget and energy crises.
Jerry Brown knows the syndrome well.
He had two major crises during his first stint as governor 30-plus years ago, a severe drought early in his governorship and an invasion of Mediterranean fruit flies near the end.
Brown reacted quickly and suffered no political damage from the first, but botched the second, initially declaring that he would not order aerial spraying to kill Medflies, which threatened the fruit industry, then reversing himself after hitting stiff legislative opposition.
"I'm getting bugged by this bug," Brown declared as he changed his mind. "It's got a lot of politicians panicked or foaming at the mouth."
Brown's Medfly debacle contributed heavily to the failure of his U.S. Senate campaign a year later.
That experience may explain why Brown was clearly reluctant to declare an official emergency over the current drought, which he finally did last week after saying earlier, "Governors can't make it rain."
Having issued the declaration, Brown now owns the drought politically, and while he needn't necessarily worry about its affecting his all-but-certain re-election bid this year, the situation complicates his policy agenda.
It comes as Brown is attempting to clear the way for what he hopes will be a landmark accomplishment, the construction of twin tunnels to carry Sacramento River water to the head of the California Aqueduct, thus completing the state water project that his father began more than a half-century ago.
Water interests and legislators have been working on a water bond issue that wouldn't directly pay for the tunnels, but would finance some ancillary aspects of the project. The drought ramps up pressure for political response to the state's precarious water supply and that, legislative leaders seem to be saying, means they should place a revised water bond on the ballot this year.
However, Brown apparently doesn't want a water bond on the same ballot as his re-election.
A water bond could become a drought-colored referendum on the tunnels and undercut his posture as a governor who cuts state debt, not increases it.
Brown also doesn't want a school bond that education groups are seeking, arguing that the state should no longer be the primary source of construction financing. But were he to accede on a water bond, it would weaken his school bond position.

Despite being born with a condition known as congenital amputation, which left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs near his knees, Kyle Maynard hasn't been deterred him from reaching heights most people can only dream about.
Despite being born with a condition known as congenital amputation, which left him with arms that end at the elbows and legs near his knees, Kyle Maynard hasn't been deterred him from reaching heights most people can only dream about.
In January 2012, he became the first quadruple amputee to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, crawling to the 19,340 foot summit without assistance.
In an interview Thursday before speaking to students at Park Street, Maynard, 26, said that he really isn't that much different from everybody else.
"We all have a disability. A lot of times you can't see the disabilities that people face," he said. "(We) all have 'Mount Kilimanjaros' to climb."
Maynard said he wanted to climb the real Kilimanjaro so he could experience its magnificence sitting above the clouds.
Two veterans joined him on the trek, and he said he made the effort to help send a message to the veteran community.
Despite their sacrifice "of life and limb," Maynard said he wanted to show disabled veterans that "you can create the life you want."
An active lifestyle is nothing new for Maynard, who played football and wrestled in high school and has trained in mixed martial arts. He is the owner of No Excuses Crossfit gym in Suwanee, Ga., and wrote the memoir, No Excuses: The True Story of a Congenital Amputee who Became a Champion in Wrestling and in Life.
Maynard travels the country giving motivational speeches.
At first he spoke mainly at corporate functions, but he said he is enjoying balancing his schedule with more appearances at schools.
"It's more fulfilling," to speak to youngsters, Maynard said.
His goal is to encourage students to "be driven to be resilient," he said. "I know things get tough at times. I want them to realize that (they) are capable of making a difference in the world."
Maynard spoke at Park Street during the school's first anti-bullying week.
He told the students that he experienced bullying when his family moved to the southeastern United States.
It was a difficult time for him, Maynard said, as he worried what the future would hold for him.
"I wondered if anybody would hire me for a job or if I would have to live at home with my parents for the rest of my life," he said.
"I'd cry at night wishing and dreaming" that he would wake up with arms and legs.
He almost gave up on life, but when he went out for the football team at his school, he found strength, "in being part of something," Maynard said.
"Every one of you have the capability of going out and changing someone's life," he told the students. "There's no difference between you and me."
Maynard also demonstrated to students his ability to perform a walking handstand and showed them how he has learned to write using his elbow.
Maynard's appearance fit in perfectly with Park Street's anti-bullying week, said fifth-grade teacher Arin Kress.
Each day featured a different theme and a related action students were challenge to perform, she said.
On Monday of the week, students were encouraged to make a friend by sitting at lunch, play at recess or strike up a conversation in class with someone different.
Students were asked to make a truce or forgive someone who upset them on Tuesday; to let someone know how wonderful they are by paying them a compliment on Wednesday; to thank someone they appreciate verbally or with a card or note on Thursday; and to perform a random act of kindness on Friday.
