Georgia Tech looks to recover from a tough loss to Virginia Tech as they face the No. 14 Miami Hurricanes Saturday in Miami. Television coverage begins at 3:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU.
The Yellow Jackets started the year 3-0 with two wins over ACC opponents, and looked to be in good position to contend for the Coastal Division title. Georgia Tech opened with a 70-0 thrashing of Elon, and followed that up with wins over divisional opponents Duke (38-14 on the road) and North Carolina (28-20). Against Virginia Tech, however, the triple option stuttered, and Georgia Tech scored just one touchdown en route to a 17-10 loss.
After an opening 34-6 rout of Florida Atlantic, Miami caught public attention with a big 21-16 win over Florida, who was ranked No. 12 at the time. Besides the Gators, the competition has not been exactly steep for the Hurricanes -- their three other opponents have combined for a 2-12 record on the season.
The numbers
Rankings and records: Miami is ranked No. 14 in both polls, while Georgia Tech did not receive any votes. The Hurricanes are 4-0, while the Yellow Jackets are 3-1 (and 2-1 in ACC play). Georgia Tech holds a 10-8 all-time lead in the series, but Miami has won the last four contests between the two schools.
Vegas: Miami is listed as a six-point favorite by most sites. OddsShark has more.
Weather: Mid-80s with scattered thunderstorms.
Three names to know
David Sims. It's no secret that Georgia Tech relies heavily on the run, and Sims is their main guy, with 50 carries for 248 yards and four scores through four games.
Vad Lee. Paul Johnson was not happy with the Yellow Jackets' performance offensively against Virginia Tech, and he will be hoping to see more out of quarterback Lee, who has ten total touchdowns this year.
Duke Johnson. Miami has some rushing power of their own, as the Hurricanes have one of the best backs in the nation in Johnson. After an outstanding freshman campaign last year, he is averaging 6.3 yards per carry this season.
Two things at stake
After a rough loss to Virginia Tech, Georgia Tech desperately needs to beat Miami to stay in the ACC championship hunt.
Miami is considered the favorite in the Coastal, and would like to prove that to be true with an opening win in conference play.

On Sunday we went to see the move "Frozen" for my mom's birthday.
The girls just LOVED it!
So, when school was cancelled yesterday for the bitter cold my girls were making paper crowns, playing "coronation day," and singing "Let it Go" at the top of their lungs. Then we looked up "Frozen" hairstyles on Pinterest and then it morphed into sewing capes for them all.
I had lots of fleece hanging around (the price was right = FREE) so it didn't take very long to whip up a couple of capes for the girls.
Each one is just a circle skirt with a slit down the front and a hood instead of a waistband. I eyeballed it when cutting the neck circle, so some of them needed gathers to make the width the same. Eh. I'm just winging it here.
|Halley, in the darker blue, wants me to tell you that she isn't miserable.
I didn't hem either. It is fleece so it's not gonna fray and these are just for playing dress-up anyway. Grace got a button, but the rest just have ribbon ties.
And with those big circles, it makes for a lot of fun twirling...
So, other than that we did some cleaning and blew bubbles to watch them freeze and threw boiling water off of the porch (carefully). Is it ridiculously cold where you live? If so, stay warm!!

"Excellent credible opinion."
Excellent opinion by a credible author who clearly presents his arguments against god who allows some of his worshipers to suffer. The examples are clear, particularly those from passages in the bible. Very thought-provoking and highly recommended.

Roman History
He was a TA teaching a course. He was really nice, helpful, and young. His lectures were REALLY organized (he had detailed overheads) and was very clear. Not to mention that he was sexy ... some serious fantasizing going on(Machattie and I in ancient Rome ...)
He is still a student but he has a very thorough knowledge of the material. He's entertaining, answers questions and allows some discussion and keeps his lectures as short as possible and marks tests as quickly as he can.

Hotel was disgusting. Dirty, old, smelly. Stains on couch, linens, bedspread. No attempt to clean. Tub was moldy, toilet didn't flush, nothing worked. Was absolutely awful. They offered free breakfast but did not partake due to fear of botulism.

My daughter and I stayed at this hotel for 4 days. We were pleasantly surprised and would definitely stay here again. We booked our hotel through Priceline and unfortunately the reviews for this hotel were terrible so after I booked our stay I was very worried. Our visit was just fine. The hotel exceeded our expectations. It was clean. The air conditioner worked great. The staff was very accommodating. The location was very close to TCU as well. ...

Duckweed Largely Cleared at Both Locks and On Dismal Swamp Canal AICW Alternate Route
Our thanks to Director Stewart of the Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center (A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS' NET SPONSOR) for this update and photos below. For earlier photos, see http://cruisersnet.net/?p=124791. And we remind you of the "Event Along the Waterway" scheduled for this coming weekend http://cruisersnet.net/?p=120878
As many of you may have heard there is Duckweed in the northern part of the Canal. I wanted you share with you although you must come through the Deep Creek lock to get here, we are clear. I have a boater who had problems after locking through on Saturday and ended up being towed here to our dock on Sunday.
I do believe the folks on the north end are doing everything they can to try to alleviate the problem. I know Robert has relayed they have had challenges. My boaters who had come through heading south last week stated they got out of the weed at about mm14. But we did have 5 boats come through earlier today and our stranded boater talked to 5 of them. He said only one stated an issue with having to clean his strainer……..I don't know what to say, other than I would suggest you contact the Deep Creek lock for their status. Our South Mills lockmaster says he is clear as we are and we took these photos this afternoon (after Tom Hale called) to verify we are clear as well. I called Elizabeth City yesterday to see if they had complaints outside of the South Mills lock to ECity, but Susan reported she had not received any reports of problems. I'll try to see if one of our boaters here tonight will call me and advise me of the conditions as they head south.
If we receive further useful information, I'll let you know.
Donna Stewart, Director
Dismal Swamp Welcome Center

South Mills, NC 27976
Phone ~ 252-771-8333
We had several boats come in yesterday afternoon and were expecting four more after we left at 5pm. The boaters I spoke to said they had no issues locking at the north. Charlotte Underwood at the Elizabeth City CVB also asked her boaters about the trip from the South Mills lock to ECity and they reported no problems. This is what I've heard so far. Thanks for trying to keep all informed. Robert was not working at the lock yesterday, but the lockmaster on duty said he felt they were back to normal. I'll try to check on the status when I go in this am.

Manolo's Moment-------
The Manolo moment has been in full effect these past few months, with the master designer's signature pointy-toe pumps capturing editors and buyers alike. But Blahnik is no slave to trends and passing moments, and in recognition of that fact, he'll receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at Footwear News' 25th annual FN Achievement Awards in New York tonight. Friend Carolina Herrera will present Blahnik with his award at the Museum of Modern Art. He takes the evening's highest honor, but Blahnik is by no means the only winner tonight.

Anne Hathaway: Hostess With The Mostest?-------
It wasn't just Anne Hathaway's caffeinated performance as this year's Oscars co-host—a peppy, giggly turn that smirking pundits are already suggesting was amped up to balance James Franco's lethargic cool-guy bit, borrowed, it seemed, from Pineapple Express—that caught viewers' attention last night. It was also her ricocheting costume changes: seven in all during the course of the show.
Anne began the night in a crystal-embellished white gown from Givenchy Haute Couture (left). From there, she went for a one-button Lanvin tuxedo, with Swarovski-embellished Brian Atwood pumps (below left). Vivienne Westwood Couture is responsible for the greenish-gray strapless number—overtones of Black Swan, we thought—that came up next (below right).
From there, it was a hop and a jump—make that a shake, which she demonstrated onstage—to a beaded, fringed one-shoulder Oscar de la Renta gown (below left). Then on to a winey Atelier Versace gown with embroidered bodice that she later wore to Vanity Fair's epic after-party (below right).
The longtime Armani girl wore a shimmering, off-the-shoulder Armani Privé in deep blue next (below left), and ended the night (or the telecast, at least), in a smoky, crystal-studded Tom Ford, with high neck and long sleeves (below right).
Which of Hathaway's looks—including the red, asymmetrical Valentino Haute Couture that she selected for the red carpet—did you like best?

The Story: Silicon Valley businesses have long argued that changes in the immigration laws are needed to ensure a continuing supply of highly skilled workers. The current limit of 65,000 under the standard H1-B visas is not enough, they say. (The quota was filled in less than a month in 2007.)
[ Slideshow: 2007's top underreported tech stories ]
But that number obscures an important fact: The real total of visas issued to highly skilled workers is closer to 400,000 annually, according to the federal Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) agency. And that, say some critics, may mean that the law is being abused.
There are two reasons the number is so large.
First, the H1-B visa cap has a built-in exemption that allows an additional 20,000 workers who have graduated from U.S. universities with an advanced degree (master's or higher) to enter every year.
Second — and the biggest reason — is the use of L-1 visas, which are granted to executives and workers with specialized skills employed by multinational companies. Because there is no cap on L-1 visas issued each year, the numbers have soared. In the last three years, an average of 315,000 L-1 visas have been issued each year.
Unlike the H-1B visas, the L-1 visas are not intended to be a springboard to possible permanent residency and a coveted green card. In essence, the L-1s are intended to allow multinational companies to rotate staff across national borders, so they can transfer foreign managers and specialists within the company to U.S. offices for a limited period of time.
But the vast number of workers admitted with L-1 visas has critics suspecting that companies — Indian outsourcing firms in particular —are using them as a back door to bring in lower-paid workers to do jobs that could be performed by Americans, rather than for the intended purposes of staff rotation.
"It's clear that foreign outsourcing firms are abusing the system, and we can't let that continue," Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) said earlier this year as Congress debated immigration reform. Here's what upset him: According to immigration records, 14 of 20 companies whose employees were granted the most L-1 visas were offshore outsourcing firms, including Tata Consultancy, Satyam Computer Services, Wipro, and Infosys Technologies.
Tata Consultancy obtained 4,887 L-1s in fiscal 2006 — the most of any company — and 3,601 in fiscal 2007, second only to Cognizant (4,869), a U.S.-based outsourcer with a major presence in India. "I find it hard to believe that any one company has that many individuals … legitimately being transferred within a single year," Durbin said in Congress. (Tata declined to comment to InfoWorld, but a spokesman told BusinessWeek, "We're complying with the law and with the regulations. We want to work with Congress to address any issues they may have.")

Blister in the Sun - Violent Femmes - Lyrics (via abbybabiix33)
"I like to recruit guys with massive heads, big hands, long arms and big feet, 'cause that shows growth potential." James Franklin.
When considering the talent of incoming PSU football recruits we should remember not to overlook what coach Franklin looks at while assessing talent. The potential for growth. No recruiting service can tell the future and the star system of ranking players has its obvious flaws. Recruiting services like Rivals, Scout, etc, tend to lean favoritism toward how well a player has already developed their body and talent. Because of this the players who grow the most in size and skill once they get to college tend to outgrow their star ranking as well.
Past PSU Recruits Who Must Have Had Big Feet and Heads.
In 2005, PSU three-star recruit according to Scout.com, Sean Lee, was out-shadowed by Justin King and Derrick Williams, who had 5 stars each coming in to the season. Lee has done well even though he was not hyped coming in.
Evan Royster, a three star running back recruit the next year did well for the Lions and is still collecting a paycheck in the NFL. Royster and Lee both had more than just football skills that they brought to the table for the Lions. Sean Lee was also rated as a two star basketball player and Evan Royster, if you hadn't heard, was pretty good at lacrosse. No word on their hand or head size from the recruiting services, but both players had abnormally large hearts.
In 2009, two incoming lineman recruits and their stars awarded could be expressed in these terms: U(5/2)=S. U would represent John Urschel and his 2 stars, with S representing Eric Shrive and his 5 stars. No word on Urschel's head size, although it does overwhelm many cameras, but the brain inside his head is massive and still growing. Coming in with two stars and little anticipation, Urschel may have been singing a song written by former PSU football standout Mike Reid, I can't make you love me. Now everyone loves Urschel and like Reid, he is poised for accomplishments off the field when his playing days are over. Greatness slipped in through our blind side door as we drooled at the four star future quarterback Kevin Newsome walking down the red carpet with his future protector Shrive.
In 2011 Allen Robinson was a three star recruit at wide-out ranked the 108th best prospect at that position. Bill Belton was ranked as the 11th best wide-out nationally in that class, and was a four star recruit. Makes you wonder if Troy Apke and his three stars may be under-rated in the current group of highly anticipated wide receiver recruits.
In this years' group of recruits, which ones have big heads and feet? Can any of them jump out of a four foot swimming pool, and if so, should they?
Class of '14 Most Likely to Exceed
Koa Farmer. He's got a really big brain inside his head. Coming in as a three or four star recruit depending who you ask, he has an intangible skill set that is hard to rate using stars. First, he's a tweener position wise. Is he a large safety or a smallish linebacker? His aspirations go past the football field, as he will be pursuing a PhD. His talent on the field is hard to quantify at this point, and he looks to be a good candidate for a player who will make a lasting impact after his career on the field is over.
Chasz Wright stands at 6'7 and is 300 pounds having received three stars coming in to PSU. While he's already big, his size if matched with skill growth could easily see him surpass the current assessment of his talent by recruiting agencies. He may well prove to be the elephant in the room that no one is really paying attention to at this point, but could be a star in a few years.
Amani Oruwariye, three star cornerback from Tampa, Florida. Deep within the heart of SEC territory, and from the fertile recruiting grounds of Florida, is a player who is coming in under the radar. First the obvious, this guy is going to need a nickname. We may as well call him 'the suit' since he projects to be a great cover corner. Being that there is no lack of talent in his region of play, it is not out of the question to think that his three stars are due to the fact that he is not as 'college ready' as some of the players on his team and in his region are. He's 6'1 and 180ish with a 4.5 40. He has long arms. No word on his feet or head, but this guy could grow in to a Bryan Scott type of defensive back; big, tall, long. Scott, the former PSU defensive back is also a very good musician.
Spell-check is not kind to these three PSU recruits' names. Maybe some day they will accomplish such great feats off the field that their names will not be underlined in red as they are typed. Once spell check knows your name, you have officially made it in this world.
Many past PSU players have had talents outside of football. The art work by Aaron Maybin is one example. Mike Reid and Bryan Scott's musical talents are other examples.
Big hands, heads, feet and arms could be one indicator of which recruits may exceed their star rankings and incoming hype. Talents and interests outside of sports could be another indicator of a person who is poised to deliver more than just football to our great University.
And of the incoming recruits that may not live up to their star rankings or hype? That is why character is so important, their contribution to the team and the University may be greater off the field or long after their playing days are over.
Adam Taliaferro came to PSU a highly regarded recruit. He was a great high-jumper, four year starter on the basketball team, and a great football player in high school. He got early playing time at PSU, but a well-publicized injury ended his playing career and changed the course of his life. Now a current member of the PSU Board of Trustees, his life after football has far surpassed his accomplishments on the field. Many of these incoming players will do more off the field to represent PSU in a positive way than on the field. It will be fun to watch them grow.
Whose head looks the largest among this years recruits to you? Are you aware of any abnormal skills that any of these players may have. It's been rumored that Michael O'Connor can play the Canadian National Anthem in a Nashville-style tune using only a palm tree coconut and a manatee, but that hasn't been confirmed.

Twitter has come under fire from mainstream journalists and institutional gatekeepers, derided as "toxic" and a "poisonous well." But this opposition to Twitter—to its strengths as a democratizing platform—is as old as media itself.
Byers' response to Ta-Nehisi Coates calling Melissa Harris-Perry "America's foremost public intellectual" illustrates an important problem: People in positions of privilege frequently have blind spots for the work, achievements, and culture of people who are different than them.
Erasing plantations from the landscape or simply lambasting them doesn't get rid of slavery; it just rids us of its most uncomfortable and most visible symbols.
America's history of racialized slavery distilled the essence of patriarchy, and formed the roots of American rape culture. So why do famous white feminists fail to get it?
Feminism needs to center the experiences of all women of color in the movement. As a starting point, here are some suggestions from several smart women.
While respectful and serious in the treatment of its subjects, Follow the Leader is a rollicking romp through patriarchy. It is entertaining, illuminating, and a springboard for conversations beneficial to those of us who would prefer to see more than only conservative white boys angling for the oval office.
What's funny about forced pregnancy?
OITNB isn't perfect in its handling of race, class, and gender, but the series does get a lot right about the conversations people of color and white folks have amongst themselves and with each other, and how different identities and experiences shape those interactions.
A discussion of several hashtags that have been making their way around Twitter over the past week: #SolidarityIsForWhiteWomen, #BlackPowerIsForBlackMen, and #F*ckCisPeople.
Exploring overt racism, unconscious bias, and the ravages of inequality, Democratic lawmakers sought solutions in the wake of the Trayvon Martin verdict.

Good Luck Chuck Reviews
Full Review | Original Score: 4/10
Urban Cinefile
Full Review | Original Score: 2/5
Mount Desert Islander
Because the jokes fall flat, the dialogue is dumb and the Swiss cheese script reads like an afterthought, the only logical conclusion is that all of the above is just a transparent excuse for a constant parade of topless females.

It's all pretty lewd and crude, with excess and exposure and grotesque fat gags passing for humor.

Dane Cook sucks as an actor. Not sure why he's still getting gigs but whatever. Luckily, the unrated edition of GOOD LUCK CHUCK, has more than just Cook, with plenty nudity, Jessica Alba (that doesn't get nude) in skimpy clothing and some decent laughs (m
| Original Score: 4/10
Good Luck Chuck is the cinematic equivalent to a sexually-transmitted disease. It starts out unnoticeable, then starts to itch a little bit, before finally burning and blistering.
Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/5
Raunchy in the extreme, Good Luck Chuck like its sexually jaded cavity expert, forlorn dentist Charlie, wants it both ways, juxtaposing Alba's lovestruck innocent with Cook's overcooked, reluctantly lusty flesh magnet.

Very sad. Someone screwed up in not ensuring this suspect was unarmed. Prayers go out to the Smith family. We lost a good Officer.
What really made me mad was this idiot female who said Det. Smith was no better than the suspect and later remarkd that maybe the Jackson PD are coving up a murder suicide! Meaning what, the Det. shot and killed this suspect and then shot himself? Come on. A real cop hater.

Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 30
Mixed: 16 out of 30
Negative: 13 out of 30
The star and the more overwrought aspects of the plot are mainstream but the philosophical implications will not appeal to those who prefer easily digestible cinematic portions. It's also true that the more deeply one considers the movie's themes and structure, the less sense it makes.
Premonition is both dreary and absurd, suffering from a lack of intrinsic logic and terrible pacing, a one-two punch that kills off any chance of entertainment value.
Premonition is actually more daring than you might expect. Not bold enough to be memorable, maybe, but just enough to keep you from falling asleep in front of the TV.
Had the film maintained a tone of kooky, Kafkaesque tragicomedy, narrowing in on Linda's wacko wrestling match with the laws of physics, we might really have had something here.
When you awake, it may all seem like a bad dream - but why is your wallet missing $11? Scary.
Although Premonition is not a frightening movie, it is aimed squarely at an audience of frightened souls.
Pay real money to see this feeble fiasco only if you're in the mood for "Groundhog Day" without the laughs.
Score distribution:
Positive: 16 out of 36
Mixed: 6 out of 36
Negative: 14 out of 36
Sep 26, 2013For me it was a pretty decent thriller with some psychological tension and rather good storyline and concept (I mean that random days|events that happened to Linda and which she marked in the improvised calendar). Sandra Bullock's performance was pretty nice and convincing.… Expand
Jul 30, 2014"Premonition" is intriguing, even though it's pretty unclear what the movie wants to discuss. Bullock appears to be a good choice for this role but cannot do much to save the day. It is not bad, there are thrills and gripping moments, but it seems fatuous after its surprising-wannabe ending.… Expand

Sophie Payne visits her home destroyed in a wildfire in Carlsbad, Calif., on Thursday. For a third sweltering day, crews battled brush fires in northern San Diego County as racing flames forced more evacuations and several additional homes were damaged or destroyed by one of the fires. Ten fires have burned a total of more than 10,000 acres, although only two of the blazes — in Carlsbad and San Marcos — have destroyed structures. Although there is no evidence of arson, investigators are working to determine the cause of the blazes, law enforcement officials said. Officials said evacuation notices covering 13,000 homes and businesses in San Marcos had been issued. Hundreds of people were checked into shelters, waiting for word on the status of their homes.

Global Collaborations in our Classroom
March 23, 2014 by Mrs. Schmidt · 2 Comments · Uncategorized
My students and I love making connections with other students around the world. Our big focus this year in Social Studies is community. By taking part in these global project, the children are able to share information about our community and country with other students and to learn more about theirs first hand. Here is a quick overview of 3 projects that we are currently working on.
The first one is called the Edmodo Pen Pal Project and it is one that I designed and lead. We use a social network called Edmodo which allows teachers to create a private group that is closed to the public. Within that group, the children are put into smaller sub-groups and each week they chat about an assigned topic with their team members to learn more about them. We are currently doing this project with 3 other schools located in Washington State, Minnesota, and South Africa. Some of the topics we discuss include school life, favorite books, favorite games, foods, holidays, weather, etc. This is a fun way for the students to work on the Common Core Standard for Listening and Speaking which focuses on effectively engaging in collaborative discussions with diverse partners on age appropriate topics, building on others ideas and expressing their own clearly. At the end of the project, the children will create an "Eye Opening" digital display to share what they have learned from this experience.
We love using our Kidblogs to connect with other students and the Student Blogging Challenge is the prefect way to do that. This challenge runs twice a year (starting in September and March) and lasts for 10 weeks. Each week Miss W, a retired teacher from Tasmania, will give the students 8-10 different choices of blog posts that they can write around a specific topic. These posts help them learn to be better bloggers and to connect with other students. There are over 1,000 students registered at the present time from USA, Canada, Russia, Australia and China. Teachers volunteer to mentor the children which means they will leave comments a few times to guide the children in this process. The children are also encouraged to visit the blogs of other students in the challenge to leave comments and start conversations to foster learning. Last week our challenge was to write a post listing great places to visit in our state or country. My students chose a topic and then used Power Point to create a slide with a few facts and photos of those places. We saved the slide as a photo and then turned it into an online jigsaw puzzle using Jigsaw Planet Here's a link to those puzzles if you'd like to try them. Jigsaw Puzzles about State and Country Not only did we have fun and learn more about the places in our area, we also talked about Creative Commons and how we can't just take photos off of the internet and call them our own. Mrs. Yollis in California did a great experiment with her students that helped us learn more about why Creative Commons is so important. You can view that here: Creative Commons Video If the children wanted to use photos from the internet for this project, they used FlickrCC and gave attribution by listing the name of the person who took those photos on their blog.
Our last and longest global project is the Flat Connections project called "A Week in the Life." In this project, we are connected with about 300 students from USA, China, Nepal, Thailand, and India. Students will be working in small groups on Edmodo to discuss one of these topics: school, leisure, language, clothing, environment, food, celebrations, housing, and transportation. The children will discuss and then take photos and video about that one topic to share with their group members from the other schools. They will collaborate to create one final digital project in VoiceThread showing images and facts about this topic and how it plays out around the world. All teams will upload their VoiceThreads to a project wiki (link in the beginning of this paragraph) so it can be viewed by all members of the project.
All of these global projects help my students and I learn first hand about the world around us. Places like South Africa, China, and India that were once just dots on a map, are now real people that they talk to and learn about. The children love seeing both our similarities and differences. These projects also help the children learn to respect and appreciate the customs, cultures and opinions of others.

Our third graders recently wrote a book review using the Tellagami app. They created an avatar on the app, took a photo of the book for the background and recorded their voice for the review. I embedded the final projects into the Padlet. Special thanks to library specialist, Shannon Miller, for the idea.

Mystery Skype with Indiana
January 29, 2014 by Mrs. Schmidt · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
Today we had the privilege of Skyping with a third grade from Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Carmel, Indiana. Their computer teacher, Mrs. Barks, and I connected on the Catholic Schools Week Mystery Skype site. Instead of doing the 20 questions type of Skype, we decided to use a set of 10 questions that I formulated that give more facts about the state. Some of them included weather, crops, location in the USA, famous people and places in the state, nicknames, state symbols, etc. The children worked in pairs to ask and answer the questions during the Skype so that every student had a chance to talk to the other class. The OLMC students only had 10 minutes before the Skype to prepare their answers. We were very impressed with how well they did! Before we started the sharing, we all stood up to say a prayer together. How wonderful it was to pray together across the states!
Here are some of the things we learned:
- Their town has 79,000 people compared to only 2,500 in Yardley. But our state has twice as many people as their state.
- Both of us have singers that were born in our state. Taylor Swift in PA and Michael Jackson in IN. We also both grown corn and produce milk.
- Their state nickname is the Crossroads of America and the Hoosier State.
- The Indy 500 takes place in their state.
- They have also experienced very cold weather and snow this winter. They sometimes experience tornadoes.
- They have over 600 students in their school compared to only 300 in ours.
At the end of the call, we asked some questions about books that we like to read and we also talked about our uniforms and our weather experiences. We had a fun time and hope we can connect with them again!
We were planning to share some of the things that we do during Catholic Schools Week but we ran out of time. Maybe the OLMC students could leave us a comment telling us? We'd love to hear from other Catholic Schools too!
At our school we had an Olympic theme for Catholic Schools Week. Each classroom created an anthem and a flag and we shared them at an Opening Ceremony and Prayer Service. All week long the students earned points for their room by doing good deeds, winning competitions, keeping their lunch table neat, etc. At the end of the week we will add up the points and award medals to the winning homerooms. We made cards and gift baskets for our bus drivers, fire fighters, police and the armed forces. We also created Birthday Boxes. We get large cake boxes from a local bakery and fill them with all the things someone might need to celebrate a birthday party: cake mix, candles, frosting, sprinkles, hats, plates, cups, napkins, party favors, a book, a toy, etc. The boxes are decorated by the children and donated to a local food pantry to be given out to those who might not have the means to buy party supplies for their child. Our week ends with an annual Talent Show which is always a fun night.
Please leave us a comment to share how your school celebrates Catholic Schools Week!

Mystery Skype with New Mexico
November 19, 2013 by Mrs. Schmidt · No Comments · Uncategorized
Yesterday we had a great time doing a Mystery Skype with Mrs. Maestas and her 2nd graders from the Manzano Day School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. To make it even more exciting, Mrs. Maestas had a local TV crew there filming us for a piece they are doing on Global Connections! We answered our usual 10 questions to give clues. We were very impressed with how well behaved and how well spoken those 2nd graders were! We learned that their school has about 500 students from PreK- 5th grade with about 4 of each grade level. They live in an urban area and have about 5,000 people in their city. Crops that they grow include apples, squash and pumpkins. Famous people from their state are John Denver and Demi Moore. We enjoyed hearing about the Balloon Festival that takes place in their state each year and we looked it up to see photos after the Skype. We also thought it was neat that they see coyote, snakes and road runners in the wild. We did more research and looked up photos of road runners afterwards too. We had a fun time during our Skype and we look forward to seeing the news clip!

Skype with our Global Read Aloud Buddies in Canada
November 19, 2013 by Mrs. Schmidt · No Comments · Uncategorized
For the past 2 months, we have been taking part in the Global Read Aloud. We read the book, Marty McGuire by Kate Messner and used Edmodo to have discussions about each chapter with 2 other classrooms who were also reading it. It was a great experience! We even had our question answered by author Kate Messner in her video Q and A.
Last week we Skyped with one of those classes, Mrs. Gosfield's Grade 3/4 from Duchess, Canada. Each student came forward to talk to the other class. Some shared their favorite parts of the book. Some of them included when Marty fell in the mud trying to catch the frog, when Veronica Grace ran off screaming because she saw the live frog, when Sparky the raccoon threw nuts at mom's head, and when Marty kissed the live frog!! The other students shared information about our country and our local area.
Their school has over 400 students and it goes from Grades K-12 (compared to our school having 300 from K-8). The town of Duchess has only 992 people and they live in a rural area so a lot of them live on farms. We told them that our town of Yardley has about 2,500 people and we live in the suburbs. We saw a photo of their flag and they told us it had a maple leaf on it which is the symbol of their country.
They have a Prime Minster instead of a President and his name is Stephen Harper. We also enjoyed learning a little bit about Queen Elizabeth. Her favorite color is blue! Their money is much more colorful than ours and it is made of plastic.
We had a wonderful time meeting our new friends face to face and we hope to work with them on other projects later on in the year!

Our First Mystery Skype of the Year
November 14, 2013 by Mrs. Schmidt · 1 Comment · Uncategorized
Last week we had our first Mystery Skype of the year and the children and I were very excited! We were Skyping with Mrs. Klose's 5th grade class from Decatur, Texas which is outside of Dallas. A few years ago, I formulated 10 questions that each class asks and answers to give clues so the other classroom can take a guess. We try to give enough clues to help them guess without making it too easy. I also like to give all of my students "on screen time" during every Skype to keep them involved. So they work in pairs to gather the answers to each question. Then for every Skype one student will ask the question and the other classroom answers. After that, a student from the other class asks us the same question and my partner student answers. The first 9 questions give clues like weather info, animals you see in the wild in your area, crops, population, state symbols, one bordering state and any bordering bodies of water, famous people and places from your state, etc. Question number 10 gives school info (like name, number of students, grade level) and is shared after we guess the state. So 20 of my students get to talk when we go through the 10 questions. My last 3 students usually ask spontaneous question at the end if we have time – what are your favorite books to read, what subjects do you learn, etc. When we finish a Skype, we journal in our Skype copybook to keep track of what we learned from each experience. We also color that state in on our US map. Here are the question that we ask.
Mystery Skype Questions Google Doc
From Mrs. Klose's class, we learned that they have armadillo, rattlesnakes, raccoon and deer in their wild! Their state nickname is the Friendly State and the mocking bird is their state bird. Crops grown in Texas include cotton, soybeans and wheat. Famous places include a Six Flag amusement park (which we also have nearby) and the River Walk. We were both able to guess the state on our first try which was pretty good! We had a great time today and we are ready for more Mystery Skypes!

Photo Story: Blaze Guts Fort Worth Apartments
Firefighters responded to an early morning apartment fire in Forth Worth on Dec. 1.
A ferocious blaze burned through four apartments in a Fort Worth building early on Dec. 1.
Fort Worth firefighters responded to the Hills Apartments on West Normandale. The crews of Engine 23 and Quint 23 found one unit heavily involved. Flames were spreading to the second floor.

Two additional engines were called for manpower.
A resident of the original apartment was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation.
The fire was under investgation and may have been accidental in nature.

The other day, Chloe was trying to get into a chair so she could sit in it "like a big girl." Unfortunately for her, she wasn't as big a girl as she thought she was.
If you met my cousin, Melissa, you'd like her immediately.

I admire people who come up with ingenious ways to solve problems. Helen Stell of Lula has provided the first two tips. They are definitely ingenious ...
Well, it's time for my SUPERSIZED Halloween tips column. This is my biggest column of the year and I've got a lot of great Halloween tips. Most of them are on how to have a great jack-o-lantern. However, I've also added some on Halloween in general. Look for me when you're out trick-or-treating. This year I'm going as a "duct tape mummy." (What can I say, I love duct tape almost as much as I love Halloween). Have fun and be careful out there!
Everyone seems to think making a cheesesteak is as easy as making a ham sandwich. That's why we Lunch Guys have seen franchises from Quiznos to Dominos try their hand at "cheesesteak" lunches - and flounder where Philadelphians flourish.
Considering the water situation, fall landscape planting is not high on many homeowners' list of things to do.
Question: Our family just moved to a new city and my 2 1/2-year-old son won't do anything during the day but follow me around. If I give him something to play with while I unpack boxes, he ignores what I've given him and starts messing with things he knows he's not supposed to touch, like my computer. If I move from one room to another, he moves with me, asking me question after question or getting into everything. Should I try some form of punishment or just cater to his clinginess for the time being?
I once heard a story about a little girl who walked into the living room, where her father sat reading the newspaper. She stopped in front of him and started recounting her day's events. Every couple of seconds, from behind the wall of the newspaper, she would hear him mumble things like "Mmm-hmm," "Really?" and "That's nice," but she could tell he wasn't really paying her any attention.
I was in a meeting last week with a friend when I noticed a serious cut on his arm with quite a few stitches. I asked him how he had hurt himself and he said with an electric chain saw. He had been cutting limbs off of his crepe myrtles by holding the chain saw in one hand and grabbing branches with his other hand. OK, at this point in the story I need to point out that my friend isn't a redneck. He legitimately was trying to find an easy way to cut the limbs that were actually ...

It's the holiday season and time to hang the stockings. I've got a cool tip on how you can hang your stockings from the fireplace mantle. Instead of buying expensive hangers, make your own. First, go to your local hardware store and buy a piece of "square rod stock." It's basically a thin piece of steel that is 3 feet long and 3/16-inch thick. Each rod will cost you less than $3. Cut off a 12-inch piece of the rod - you can use a hacksaw. Now, take the rod and bend it in a vice so ...

Last week was a sad one in Hollywood. One day after comedian Robin Williams was found dead, legendary actress Lauren Bacall died.

The word "fire" strikes fear in homeowners. Rightfully so: Between Jan. 1 and Aug. 7, 1,513 people in the U.S. died in house fires, including 57 Georgia residents (www.usfa.fema.gov).

The following is a true story. Names have been omitted to protect the innocent, as well as the less-than-innocent.
One man or woman's cute and cuddly critter is another person's pest. Or sometimes what begins as a cute animal turns into a pest after it eats your prize-winning roses or caused $1,000 in damage to the garage or attic.
It's that time again. The school year has officially begun, which means early, hurried mornings, school supply lists and dents in your wallet for lunch money. Oh joy!
Gentlemen, masochists that we are, we struggle out into the North Georgia summer heat and humidity to battle with that masculine dragon - the grill.

Colors change with the light. This was an issue recently when a friend was having a vintage Porsche repainted, and the shade of ivory just didn't look right.
Hot wings, dips and other snacks are main parts of the high school, college and professional football season for fans.

Web Directories - Our Competitors
A lot of your time is wasted filling out forms and waiting for replies from multiple vacation rental owners.
Many busy owners never reply.
The price shown always changes, you have to calculate it yourself and often changes once you communicate with the owner.
Most owners do not take the time to provide complete information on listings, so you waste time having to ask questions and wait for responses.
In a nutshell, "Web Directories" are
time consuming
, and if you have a problem, you are on your own.
