As you prepare for the new school year, follow these best practices to ensure safe and secure usage of Edmodo in your classroom, school and district.
1. Set up a school or district subdomain
Having a subdomain allows all communication within your school or district to be viewed by administrators, providing full disclosure for teachers and students. It also enable better communication between schools in your district. Encourage your district administrator to sign up for a school or district subdomain, or if you are a district administrator, claim your subdomain today.
2. Select unique student passwords
When helping students set up their Edmodo account, be sure to have them choose unique passwords. Using generic passwords (such as "password", "Name"123 or their birthdate) opens up the possibility for students to guess each other's passwords.
3. Manage the distribution of group codes
It's a good idea to distribute the group code to your students in-class. Distributing the code via a blog, Twitter or any other public forum opens the possibility for others who are not meant to be in your group to join your group. (NOTE: As the teacher, you have the ability to delete any members who join your group in error)
4. Set up notifications
Notifications alert you to new activity in your Edmodo groups and connections. We recommend setting up text or email alerts to help you monitor students' posts in your groups. To do this, visit the settings panel in your Edmodo account and select how you'd like to receive your notifications (text or email) and the type of notifications (i.e. for new posts, replies, direct messages, etc.).
5. Lock the group code
Once your students join your Edmodo group, be sure to lock the group code so that no other students can join. You can lock the group code by selecting the drop down arrow next to the group code and selecting the lock option. (Note: your group code can easily be unlocked if needed.)
6. Reset option
Edmodo provides the option to reset a group code. To reset the group code, select the drop down arrow next to the group code and select "reset". A new 6-digit code will immediately be generated. (Note: group members who have already joined will not need to rejoin if you reset the group code).
7. Set expectations
It's important to set clear parameters with students about the content that is appropriate for your Edmodo class group. At the beginning of the year, you may want to implement guidelines and expectations for your students when posting on Edmodo. A really great example that we like to point out is this Edmodo Posting Rubric that was shared by Mr. Hamin in the Language Arts Community.
8. Read-only status
"Read-only" status provides a valuable bridge for students who are in the process of building appropriate digital citizenship skills. Read-only status can be managed by the teacher and allows a student to view classroom messages, submit assignments and communicate directly to their teacher, but limits their ability to post messages to the entire group. To change a students posting status, select "manage" from the Members section >select the student > change status to "read-only".
9. Invite parents to Edmodo
Keep parents in-the-know of all your classroom activity by inviting them to Edmodo. By creating their own Edmodo account, parents can see what you (the teacher) post to the class, what their student is posting to the class and their student's grades, assignments and calendar. For more information on creating parent accounts, view our recent blog post.

Im loveingg Hanes thiss year !! :))
I will recommend this to my colleagues, and I will create a group for my class.
wow this is amazballs im going to show my students this they will love it
This is a great safe and secure way to share ideas for classes. I'm going to set up everything this summer. I'm excited.
This is so great. I can use this as a great social networking tool between groups of classes.
On line safety is very important.
Understanding that the site is controlled by the teacher is rewarding. I am afraid with all safety lines in place, it can still be used to communicate is in an unappropriate way (teachers are not always hip with the lastest jargon).
I think with all online sites one must be diligent in utilizing common sense online safety precautions.

The Monticello Lady Buckaroos were foiled in their attempt at three straight 1A state volleyball championships, but came away with lots of experience and optimism for the future.
The young Bucks, sporting only one senior on the team, fell to the eventual runner up, Piute, in the quarterfinal match. They regrouped to win two straight to grab fifth place, something they also did in 2010 and 2009.
Coach Tony Esplin's Buckaroos started the tournament strong with a 3-0 sweep of the Tabiona Tigers, 25-16, 25-13, and 25-20.
But the Bucks ran into a buzz saw in the Piute Thunderbirds, who blocked and killed their way to a 3-1 win over the Bucks.
Piute won the first two sets 25-18 and 25-17 to put the inexperienced Bucks back on their heels but in the third set the Buckaroos found their way when they triumphed 25-19. The fourth set was tight, but Piute pulled away to win 25-22.
In the consolation round, the disappointed Bucks rebounded nicely to embarrass the Milford Tigers in the first set, 25-6. But Milford showed their resiliency to bounce back and take the next two sets by identical 25-22 scores.
The Bucks tied the match with a 25-20 fourth set win before scoring quickly and often in the fifth set to win 15-6 and qualify for the fifth place game.
The learning curve was fulfilled in the fifth place game as the Bucks dominated Duchesne to win 3-0, by scores of 25-16, 25-17, 25-19, to place fifth.
The Lady Bucks finish the season with an excellent 20-6 record.
The Bucks say goodbye to senior Aapree Sheeran, but welcome back every other player including juniors Shania DeAnda, Tiara Cordasco, Loren Nielson, and Mary Beh, sophomores Molly Anderson, Averi Christensen, Ashley Ewart and LaShay Lewis, and freshmen Allie Maughan, Izabell Slade and Tawna Wells.
Monticello first began the volleyball title chase way back in 1973, winning the first ever state high school volleyball championship in the first year of girls volleyball in Utah.
Judy Bailey Skinner coached the girls to that first ever title. Since then, the Bucks have won three more titles, including the 2011 and 2012 titles under Esplin and the 1987 title, with Jo Jeppson at the helm.
Congratulations to the San Juan Lady Bronco volleyball team, who finished second in the 2A state volleyball championship over the weekend at Utah Valley University.
The Broncos finish the year with a 19-7 record and motivation for next year with their two main hitters, Tatianna S'ueSu'e and Sara Morley both back next season.
In the final, SJ lost to the Enterprise Wolves in three sets, 25-22, 2-12, 25-19 to get the silver trophy. Coach Cassy Moon's team also finished second in 2011.
The storied Bronco program has won 11 titles, third all-time in the state, with their most recent title coming in 2010. Moon has seven of those titles with the first coming in 1999, including five consecutive titles from 2003-2007.
The Broncos first volleyball state championship came in 1993 with Mary Thornton as the coach. Tracy Johnson led the Broncos to two consecutive titles in 1997 and '98 before handing the reins over to Moon as the Broncos won 10 titles in 14 years.
The Bucks and Bronco football teams ended their hopes on the same weekend this year, much sooner than each team hoped for. Monticello lost a tight 26-17 game to the Rich Rebels and the Broncos were shellacked by the South Summit Wildcats, 43-0.
The Buckaroos played an excellent game, a game they knew would be tight, and had a chance to win right up to the last couple of minutes.
Rich thought they were sending a message to the far traveling Buckaroos when they went 79 yards to paydirt on the first play from scrimmage to lead 7-0.
But the Bucks showed their moxie by taking the ensuing kickoff and marching right back down the field. QB Makade Maloy returned the kickoff to the Buck 40 yard line and then directed the Bucks straight to a touchdown.
The Bucks ran seven straight running plays, highlighted by a 28 yard scamper by Austin Maloy before surprising the Rebels on first and ten from the 14 with a 14 yard touchdown pass from Makade to Austin Wilcox.
And just like that, the Bucks were tied 7-7 and it was game on.
Just into the second quarter, Rich scored again but missed the extra point to lead 13-7. That looked like that would be the halftime score, but the Bucks forced the Rebels into their third fumble at the Rich 38 yard line with just 1:47 left in the half.
Hunter Bowring ran for seven yards, Makade added a 10 yard scramble and Dillon Maughan went for seven before the Bucks scored from the air again on a 14 yard pass, this time to Austin Maloy.
After Austin Maloy added the extra point kick, the Bucks were up 14-13 at half and had the momentum and the ball to begin the second half.
The second half began all Monticello as they controlled the ball and the clock, taking nearly seven minutes off the clock, running the ball ten times in a row to find themselves on the Rich 10 yard line.
But there the drive stalled after a couple of incomplete passes and the Bucks settled for a 28-yard Austin Maloy field goal. The Bucks held a 17-13 lead.
The fourth quarter belonged to the Rebels again, however, as a turnover and numerous penalties plagued the Buckaroos.
The last time the two teams met, the Bucks were up 19-7 in the fourth quarter only to lose 20-19. This time the Rebels scored just as the third quarter ended to lead 20-17 and then added a late touchdown with just about a minute left to put the game out of reach, 26-17.
For the game, The Bucks rushed for 167 yards on 39 carries and 84 passing yards on five completions.
Dillon Maughan led with 50 rushing yards on 12 carries. Austin Maloy added 39 yards on 12 carries and Cole Eldredge had 31 yards on five carries.
Makade Maloy threw for 84 yards completing five of 13 for two touchdowns and one interception.
Defensively, Austin Wilcox led the Bucks with 11 tackles. Austin Maloy had five, Eric Anderson and Cole Eldredge had 3.5, and Hunter Bowring, Jake Giles, Brandon Musselman, Shane Christensen had three each.
The Buckaroos end the 2013 season with a 4-7 record, the Broncos at 6-5.
Congratulations and a hearty "Thank You" to the players and the coaches, who gave their all for good 'ole MHS and SJH!
Sportshorts is proud of our teams, the players-boys and girls-and the coaches who represent MHS and Monticello, and SJH and Blanding so exemplarily.
Our kids comport themselves well on the playing fields. Seldom a cross word to any official or opposing player, often reaching down to help an opponent off the ground, patting each other on the back in the process, win or lose.
Now that's what I want out of our sports programs, quality youths of character who will become quality adults with charm and appeal, guided by just such people as their coaches.
That's what we have. Thanks all!

Lucretia - wrap top
Added Oct 13, 2011
by irmchen
Pusemuckel, Germany
This time I am completely satisfied with my wrap top!
Since a while now I tryed constantly to create my own jersey wrap top.
Look at the last pics: In the beginning I was inspired by the vintage pattern simplicity 5018 and then I liked the asymmetrie of the white blouse from Byron Lars.
I also sewed the asymmetrical jersey skirt which matches nicely with the top, I think.
Whenever I will find time I will share my pattern, using this tutorial
May be there is someone in the community who has the same measurements like me (german size 42).

Irmchen! OH MY GOODNESS!!! This is SOOOOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!! It TRULY is one of the MOST beautiful tops that I have EVER SEEN!!! I just got through downloading your pattern and your "instructions". Oh, and by the way…your English is better than some people who speak it and write it for their first language! I cannot WAIT to try to make this top! It will be a VERY difficult task for me…for a couple of reasons. 1) I have not done much sewing AT ALL in my life time. What I have down came out very beautifully. I actually came across a jumpsuit recently that I had started about 20 years ago and just never finished for some reason. The material was still in like new condition! Looking at this website has really gotten me to wanting to pull it out and finish it! That would be so AMAZING! 2) Back to your AMAZING top…the second problem that I would have in making your top is, it would be WAY TO SMALL. I have a lung disease that makes me use oxygen and take LOTS of medicine. The medicine made me gain lots of weight and because I need the oxygen it is almost impossible for me to excercise. SO! I will have to enlargen your pattern. I was wondering if you knew if I could use the same software program that you mentioned to digitize the pattern to make the pattern larger? In fact, I would be VERY OPEN to ideas FROM ANYONE WHO READS MY COMMENT as to how about to best approach my problem. As I stated, I have VERY LITTLE experience in sewing! As long as it's a straight forward project with little or no problems, I can do ok. But…ALTERING THE PATERN/CUSTOMIZING IT? Yea, not so much!
Thank you so very much for sharing your work! You are a beautiful woman inside AND out! You did a TRULY AMAZING JOB!!! – Shelly

Wahnsinn, und dann dieser Rock dazu – echt edel! Dass Du Durchzugbänder gemacht hast, habe ich gerade erst gesehen. Wie das Band im Rücken verschwindet gefällt mir gut. Der Rock ist auch toll, auf diesen Burda-Schnitt hatte ich auch schon ein Auge geworfen (von Vogue gibt's einen ähnlichen)!

The Future Is Now: Cheating In Online Games Leads To Arrests In Japan
from the not-the-best-use-of-your-time dept
Any video game producer who produces a product for which online play is a large component also has to fight an ongoing arms-race against cheaters and hackers who gain an unfair advantage in the game and threaten the gamer ecosystem. It's annoying, it sucks, and the fight is unending. For online games, that's just kind of the deal. Most companies work with programmers and 3rd party service providers, like Steam, to try to ban players who cheat. Other companies, such as Blizzard, choose to try to twist copyright law into some kind of anti-cheater pretzel. Japan, on the other hand, appears to be done screwing around.
Newspapers in the land of the rising sun are reporting that three teenagers have been arrested for cheating in the online first-person shooter Sudden Attack. Yes, arrested.
Yomiuri Online, one of Japan's largest newspapers, reports that this is the first time gamers have had criminal liability charged against them in Japan for allegedly using cheat programs. One of the gamers is a university freshman, another is a 17 year-old vocational school student, and the last of the trio is a 17-year-old high school student. In Nexon's statement about the legal charges, the company explains that these three players allegedly used the cheat tools repeatedly in the game. IT Media reports that distribution of cheats was also allegedly involved.Yup, things just got a little more real in the realm of pretending to shoot everyone you see. Yes, cheating is annoying. But criminal? That seems like a massive overreaction and tremendously dangerous. Cheating in online games goes back all the way to the dial-up days and companies have always taken it upon themselves to keep cheaters out of their games. They may not like the arms race, but that hardly means it should reach the level of criminal liability -- especially when the line between cheating and just gaining some kind of advantage may get blurry pretty fast. It's reasonable to argue that if the game maker allows something to happen in the game, then it's on that game maker to set things up to block actions it doesn't like. Opening it up to the criminal justice system seems like a recipe for disaster.
Cheating is wrong, but couldn't Nexon simply ban these players? Maybe the company tried, but was unsuccessful. Or maybe Nexon should've tried harder to combat the cheats. But making them a crime?It's easy to point at cheaters and say they aren't worth defending, but nobody really wants to open up this can of worms where we can all be charged with crimes for messing around in a game.

Outreach Programs at SCS
Careers in the so-called "STEM" fields—science, technology, engineering and math—are a major driving force of the 21st century economy. That's why the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University is part of a multi-faceted effort to attract more students to study STEM fields such as computing, information technology and robotics, and to retain those students. Our outreach programs have been developed over more than a decade. They reach across disciplines and into communities across the United States, starting with educational programs for teachers and students in primary school right up into high school. We pay particular attention to encouraging more participation by women and under-represented minorities—not by watering down the lessons, but by giving students the fundamental tools they need to succeed.

DescriptionTamara Lynd has recently become engaged to Jack Tresyllian, a wealthy owner of the Tresyllian Castle in Cornwall, England. Shortly afterwards, she began seeing a ghost-like figure, a mysterious White Lady, who has allegedly been haunting the castle for centuries. A series of events and dark suspicions involving hidden treasure convince Tamara that her life is in danger. She contacts a friend of hers, a young American detective, asking him to travel to the castle and investigate the mystery.
Moonmist is a text adventure game. In the beginning the player chooses between four different scenarios, represented by the colors red, blue, yellow and green. Each scenario has different tasks, a different criminal, and different treasure. The game has a built-in clock, and must be completed before 6:00 am in-game time, otherwise it ends prematurely. Depending on the player's choice of the protagonist's gender, characters may react differently to his or her actions.

GOP's 48-hour debt ceiling makeover
The warning was unusually dire.
Speaker John Boehner laid out what many in Washington already knew as he stood before House Republicans at his party's retreat last week: The GOP needed a new plan to tackle the debt ceiling. Trying to force President Barack Obama to slash trillions of dollars in spending against the backdrop of default simply wouldn't work this time around.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Boehner: House to vote on budget)
"With three deadlines practically upon us — debt limit, sequester and [fiscal year] 2013 appropriations — the [normal plan] is not an option," Boehner said Thursday morning, according to sources in the room. "That means we will have to develop a plan very quickly. The stakes are very high. That makes the discussion we are about to have very critical."
Then came the salesman: Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), a conservative with lots of credibility among the hard-core budget hawks in the room, described three options for resolving the debt standoff. The last one — and the option leading Republicans preferred — was to reorder the fiscal fights to hike the debt ceiling now, battle over government funding in March and then lift the debt cap again in the spring.

The leadership followed by doing something it has often failed to do given what some gripe is a top-down management style — it simply listened.
The result was widespread agreement among a fractious Republican Conference that hasn't been able to unify around much of anything over the past two years. In roughly 48 hours during a retreat in Williamsburg, Va., Republicans went from defense to offense and created more of an agenda for themselves in the 113th Congress. They also retreated from a core mantra of their majority — that the debt ceiling must be matched by spending cuts of an equal or greater magnitude. It was the swiftest and most drastic position shift of Boehner's speakership.
( Also on POLITICO: GOP confident in debt ceiling bill)
On Wednesday, House Republicans — many of whom had threatened to plunge the nation into default — will vote on suspending the debt ceiling until May with as little fanfare as Democrats did when Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was speaker. The plan is likely to pass, Republican lawmakers and aides said.
The plan is this: suspend the debt ceiling until May 19 while allowing the president to borrow enough to fund government expenditures until then. That will essentially reorder the legislative fights in their favor, Republicans believe, allowing them to focus on the sequester and funding for the government first and the debt ceiling later. They will, however, tie strings to the package — requiring the Senate to pass a budget by the middle of April, or senators would not get paid.

Climate Project 2008-2013
A Global Climate Change Remote-Viewing Study
Multiple Realities, Timelines, and Events
Early Update (Release Date: 16 February 2013)
This is an early evaluation of our Climate Project data, a project also know as the Post-2012 Earth Changes Project, that was conducted at The Farsight Institute in early 2008. This project is an attempt to use remote viewing to describe physical changes on the Earth in various locations around the globe between the time periods June 1st, 2008 and June 1st, 2013. It also is a further exploration into the idea of there being multiple realities, multiple universes, or alternate timelines, an increasingly popular idea in physics that was initially raised by physicist Hugh Everett in 1957, and that we explored in depth in a different year-long project conducted at The Farsight Institute titled the Multiple Universes Project. The results of this latter project were published in an important peer-reviewed scientific journal, and can also be found on The Farsight Institute's web site, www.farsight.org. In the remote-viewing data collected for the Climate or Post-2012 Earth Changes Project, the remote-viewing sessions appear to describe one or more meteor or asteroid-related events affecting Earth prior to June 1st, 2013. It is very significant that in the middle of February 2013, a large meteor exploded over Russia within just a few hours of the passing of a very large asteroid, the so-called DA14 asteroid, and within just a few thousand miles of the Earth, barely missing the planet. The meteor that exploded over Russia caused a great deal of damage and personal injury, and we have not seen as significant a meteor impact on Earth since the Tunguska event that flattened a large swath of Siberia over 100 years ago in 1908. CNN reports that the probability of both a meteor of the size that just hit Russia and a near miss of a large asteroid such as DA14 happening just a few hours apart is less than 1 out of 100 million.
According to the theory of multiple universes or timelines, everything that exists is essentially a frequency based hologram, not something unique and solid. Which version of reality we see depends on something like an average base frequency, or quantum signature, something that is unique for any one particular perceived reality. Thus, there is no one single version of anything that we see. Again, according to this theory, everything, including us, exists as what a mathematician might describe as probabilistic smears. Since the asteroid DA14 passed so close to Earth, from a probabilistic perspective, it is likely that across various timelines or alternate realities, there are versions of us and our planet in which the asteroid DA14 did in fact impact Earth, and there are other versions of in which the same asteroid passed even farther away from Earth, causing no damage and not even a scare. With remote-viewing, it is not easy to control for which version of a future reality is perceived when trying to predict details relating to that future with precision, an issue that does not affect perceiving targets that are located in the past or present, for reasons that I have spoken and written about elsewhere. Remote viewing can, however, more easily be used to predict general ideas relating to the future.
The Climate or Post-2012 Earth Changes Project remote-viewing data essentially describe a meteor or asteroid-related event, or set of events, on our planet prior to June 1st, 2013. These remote-viewing data were published in June 2008, five years prior to 2013, and long before the discovery of asteroid DA14 in 2012. Now we can say that an event involving two space bodies, one hitting Earth and the other passing within a hair's width of the planet, has just now occurred in the middle of February 2013. This is in correspondence with the essence of our remote-viewing results. Thus, we can most likely conclude at this point that the meteor and asteroid events of February 2013 are probably at the root of the remote-viewing data involving the impact of what appear to be space bodies prior to June 1st, 2013. Since these are such rare events, no further impacts should be expected between February 2013 and June 1st, 2013, and thus, most of the physical damage that is described in the remote-viewing data that is associated with the impact idea, especially damage related to tsunamis that result from such impacts when they occur in water, should not occur in our current timeline trajectory. This is exactly the type of thing one should expect when remote-viewing future events under the hypothesis of multiple realities or timelines. There will be very significant variation across the various realities, but also some similarities.
There are other remote-viewing data in our Climate or Post-2012 Earth Changes Project that do not relate to meteors or asteroids. It is, indeed, a climate study. We need to wait until June 1st 2013 in order to fully evaluate these data. But for now, the probability of further meteor or asteroid issues prior to June 1st, 2013 appear to be extremely small. Let us be patient as we calmly wait until June 1st, 2013 in order to more fully evaluate these remote-viewing data in what has become a truly fascinating remote-viewing experiment.

Former N.M. Gov. David Cargo dies
David F. Cargo, a maverick Republican who became the youngest governor of New Mexico and served two terms in the turbulent 1960s, has died at the age of 84.
Family members confirmed Cargo died early Friday at an Albuquerque hospital after falling ill the evening before.
Story Continued Below
Known as "Lonesome Dave," Cargo championed the film industry and established the first state film commission. He was an early advocate of a policy for apportioning legislative seats that has altered the political landscape over several decades.
Cargo earned his nickname during his first gubernatorial bid in 1966. He traveled the state alone to campaign in rural areas and small towns typically bypassed by his better-funded Democratic opponent.
He took office at age 37, making him the youngest man to serve as governor. He won re-election in 1968.

Converting a Closet into a Wine Cellar
You'd love to build a wine cellar in your house to accommodate your growing collection in style. But the only place it could possibly go is a small closet. Can this tiny space be converted to a wine cellar?
If done properly, many small spaces, even closets, can be converted into wine cellars. Check out this wine cellar for proof — it started out as a closet smaller than 4×4 feet! Wine closets can be a great way to add a space for wine storage seamlessly into a house, without the need for ripping out a wall or adding on to the existing structure.
However, converting a closet to a wine cellar isn't easy. This is because a closet and a wine cellar are built for entirely different purposes. While a closet merely has to provide storage, a wine cellar must also provide a completely climate-controlled environment separate from the rest of the house. The inner walls of a wine closet must be sealed and insulated. A wine cellar cooling system must be installed to keep your bottles at the correct temperature and humidity. The door and any windows must be perfectly sealed to keep those conditions stable. And all of the wood and other materials used must not degrade with the high humidity.
Creating a wine closet can present other problems, too. Oftentimes, the closet in question is in the center of the house. This can mean that certain types of cooling systems will not work correctly, and those that do will have to be specifically installed. And closets near the center of the house are usually also not located close to an outside door, garage or exterior wall. Removing the drywall is a must, but it's virtually impossible to do without creating dust and debris. Construction dust can be hazardous to human health, potentially causing reactions to people with asthma or other lung conditions who are living in the house during construction.
Do all these potential problems mean you should give up on your dream of turning that hall closet into the perfect cellar? Not at all! Instead, they mean that if you're converting a closet to a wine cellar, it's imperative that you choose a construction company that's highly experienced in the process. Vintage Cellars has the experience necessary to advise customers about whether a specific space can be successfully converted, and what type of cooling system and materials will be needed in order to create a cellar that will protect the customer's wine investment.
Vintage Cellars also goes to great lengths to control construction dust by tenting the area with a construction dust barrier, protecting the floors and pulling dust through a filtered exhaust fan. We do this to protect the health of the homeowner, children and pets. We also do this to protect the customer's furniture, floors and surrounding area from layers of construction dust. Though there is no way to remove 100 percent of construction dust, a conscientious company like Vintage Cellars can come pretty close.

ConEdison has a PR goddess on its hands: Kate Frasca, the person charged with running the utility's Twitter account and making sure customers don't lose it in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
Since the storm hit a week ago, she and a coworker—Amber Sisson—have been tweeting round the clock, rotating on 12-14 hour shifts answering questions and fielding concerns like "Your website says I have power restored when I don't. I tried to re-register my outage but it's not allowing me to. Help!"
"We really aren't taking breaks. We're getting so many questions so quickly and we're really just trying to put everyone at ease and trying to bring some information to them," Frasca told the Huffington Post. "Everyone is so scared and they just want to know what's going on."
In fact, in the wake of Sandy, @ConEdison has tweeted more than it did in July, August, and September combined, and its gone from having just 800 followers to 22,300. Rightfully so—the hurricane left thousands upon thousands of New Yorkers without power for days. And Frasca and Sisson have been tweeting on average once every six minutes to keep people from going nuts in the dark. [HuffingtonPost]

Photo Masks 1 & a freebie
Are you prospering and don't know it?
"20 Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah; and he did what was good, right and true before the LORD his God. 21 Every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered. " 2 Chronicles 31:20, 21
That was a serious question. Many of us serve the Lord "with all our hearts" and yet we feel that God's promises are not being fulfilled in our lives. We don't feel we are "prospering". Is it possible that He is indeed prospering us and we aren't noticing it because we aren't seeing the truth? Perhaps it's time to prayerfully take another look at our lives as they really are.
As you think on this you might say, He isn't prospering me, I live paycheck to paycheck. He isn't prospering me, I can't buy the car I want, live in the house I want, wear the clothes I want and travel where I want to go. I'm not a prosperous person.
Pray and ask the Holy Spirit of God to enlighten you as to your true situation. One aspect that comes to mind is that we are making these judgments in the perspective of living in America today. So many people are so wealthy and we see this on TV and in the movies all the time. It skews our perspective and tempts our flesh.
Could we be errantly comparing our "prosperity" to those people rather than the majority of the world? If we had somewhere inside to sleep last night, if we did't go to bed hungry, we are indeed prospering. We may not live on the level of prosperity that our flesh longs for, but we are prospering beyond most of the world.
Prosperity also has more levels than just financially and lifestyle. There is a much more important aspect to our lives, the spiritual part, our relationship with our Creator. Ignoring the "prosperity message" so prevalent in Christianity today, if we actually read God's Word, the vast majority of His addressing the subject of earthly riches and power is in a negative way. These are things He warns will make it exceedingly difficult for us to enter heaven. They come with inate spiritual issues that HINDER our Christian walk with Him, which is the most important part of our lives.
Riches, fame and power are NOT things He has held up as goals we should pursue or value, but rather a humble and sincere life of service to Him and pursuing the development of godly and righteous character in us, the bearing of good fruit is to be our life's goal. Bearing this truth in mind, it would seem that a loving God who has promised not to allow more to tempt us than we can bear with His help, would not bestow these things on many people because He wants us to make it to heaven above all else.
It seems to me that the very absence of earthly "prosperity" might be a great testiment to God's fulfilling His promise to us to prosper us. He is beckoning us to seek Him with all our hearts like King Hezekiah did so that He can truly prosper us - spiritually. That's the prosperity that will last eternally. And let's not forget to give Him thanks for prospering us in other ways too. Don't take what you have for granted simply because you want more. If we don't even thank Him for what He has already given us, why should He give us more? Seriously!
How sad it would be to live our lives feeling let down by God, only to reach the judgment day and be shown how abundantly He had blessed us, but we turned a blind eye to it all!

Ocean Noise and Marine Mammals (January 2003)Report in Brief
For the 119 species of marine mammals, as well as for some other aquatic animals, sound is the primary means of learning about their environment and of communicating, navigating, and foraging. Ambient noise and its potential impacts have been regulated since the passage of the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972; however, public awareness of the issue has escalated in the past decade when researchers began using high-intensity sound to measure ocean climate changes and stranding of beaked whales occurred in proximity to U.S. Navy sonar use. This report reviews sources of noise in the ocean environment, what is known of the responses of marine mammals to acoustic disturbance, and what models exist for describing ocean noise and marine mammal responses. Recommendations are made for future data gathering efforts, studies of marine mammal behavior and physiology, and modeling efforts necessary to determine what the long- and short-term impacts of ocean noise on marine mammals.

A trabajar mañana, m'ijito
y tu a la escuela.
A levantarse temprano
ducharse a la rápida
vestirse calentito y
desayunar, aunque no tengas ganas.
Fueron lindos y largos estos días
pasamos horas haciendo nada
gozamos mucho
disfrutamos nuestra casita,
las sopas ricas que hizo tu padre,
y las delicias de dormir hasta tarde.
Mañana, regresamos a la rutina.
No tengas pena, m'ijo,
sentirás esta melancolía el resto de la vida.
Los lunes cuestan.
Back to work tomorrow, my son
and you to school.
Wake up early
shower quickly
dress warmly
have breakfast, though you don't feel like it.
These days were lovely and long
we spent hours doing nothing
we had fun
we enjoyed our little home
the savory soups your dad made
and the delights of sleeping in.
Tomorrow, we'll return to the routine.
Don't let it bother you my boy,
you'll feel this sadness the rest of your life.
Mondays are difficult.
Bilingual thoughts on life, language, learning, and all things Latina.

You've captured the sentiment beautifully. There is more passion in the Spanish version and so I enjoyed it more.
Although we had a long and enjoyable vacation, going back to school and work proves difficult, especially on a Monday. :) I guess it happens to all of us...
Enjoy your back to school :) And just think of it this way...summer is right around the corner.
