PEACE CORP WORLDWIDE SCHOOL CORRESPONDENCE MATCH

World Wise Schools matches up Peace Corps Volunteers in the field with U.S. classroom teachers. The result? A vibrant two-year exchange of ideas, stories, pictures, and artifacts that helps U.S. students in the classroom learn about the people, geography, environment, and culture of the world from the direct experience of Volunteers living in other countries.

MEMORY BOOK FOR NATALIA

This is being coordinated by NLB. Very sweet idea for Natty. There were some lovely pics and stuff posted at The Parapet before it shut down with Natty at SSW and stories of memories of 2007 when Emily's death was shown.

Please send your submissions for Natalia's Memory Box to:
natalialivingstonfans@gmail.com with "Memory Box" in the subject line. You can be as creative as you like. Images to go along with letters/stories would be a really nice touch for the box. I think it would mean a lot to Natalia to have something to remember those of you she has met in person, and all of you who have supported her in some way during her time on the show.

It would be great to fill this box full of fond memories and fun stuff, so we hope many of you will submit something. If you have never met Natalia, maybe you have a favorite moment from her time at GH, or you would simply like to send her some good wishes as she prepares to depart the show.

If you have any questions. EMail us at natalialivingstonfans@gmail.com

FOOTBALL THIS WEEKEND

My thoughts

College first. I am tired of Florida, USC, OU, and Penn State winning(I do have a soft spot for Penn State). But I am beyond thrilled Illinois(my alma mater) beat Michigan and my Cinderella team, Iowa, just keeps on winning.

Next week I need Florida to please lose a gan and please please please let Penn State kick Ohio State's ass.

Professional. Well my bears won - yeah it was only the Cleveland Browns, but after last weeks disaster they needed a big pick me up.

On a low note, why oh why. I hate that a Brett Favre Minnesota beat the Packers. I really need Favre to crash and burn.

GIRL CRUSHES

We all have a girl crush or two right? You know, a chick you admire to the point of total adoration. It’s not romantic—you just want to invite her over to swap clothes and chat about important things like how to fix both the economy and your love life. I hope some don't find this skeevy or sick but lets all share our girl crushes. Who and why.

This is a really cool article about Girl Crushes(no they are not sexual) from the NY Times Mag
