This guy is nuts!
He just launched a new system around Thanksgiving
and already over 100,000 people have joined and
have gotten paid.
It's unlike anything I've ever seen.
You click a few buttons and get a payment. Day one.
And the best part is, it's totally AT NO COST.
Check this out before all the spots fill up!

ClustrMaps archive and map reset, totals preserved
Many thanks for being a loyal ClustrMaps user for the past year. Now that a year has elapsed since your account http://www.waterblog-vicky.blogspot.com/ was registered or archived, we are writing just to let you know that an annual automatic 'archive' of your red dots has taken place, meaning that all your 'other' (previous) red dots are safely stored in the Maps Archive, which you'll find by clicking on the Maps Archive link immediately above your large full-size world map.
Although the map archive has already happened, your existing map will stay displayed until the NEXT update of your map. This helps to avoid displaying a totally empty map until there are fresh dots to show.
We sincerely hope this has not caught you by surprise, BUT we fully appreciate that it may have come at an unexpected moment! You may not have been aware of this, although we do explain this on our Products page listing on
http://clustrmaps.com/products.htm
and also on our Frequently Asked Questions page, in particular at the following part of the page:
http://clustrmaps.com/faq.htm#archivereset
The above item in turn contains links to deeper explanations such as
http://clustrmaps.com/timeline.htm
We know that people always like to have ever-more-dots, but the regular archive is the only way we can avoid having the maps turn into a 'giant red smear', and continue delivering the scalable service that everyone has come to expect.
The good news is that all of your totals are stored correctly, i.e. the new maps include the old archived totals in the grand 'running' total. If it helps to explain things to your own readers, you can always copy and paste the archive map referred to above (right-click and Save as... or right-click and View Image and note the URL and use that), and add that in to the appropriate page near your current active ClustrMaps thumbnail map with a suitable commentary (e.g. "Last year's totals:").
If this has caught you out by mistake, then we apologise and will endeavour to make this action much clearer in the future.
In the meantime, here is wishing you all the best, and thanks again for using ClustrMaps!

Observation and reflexion on blogging
Carla says: " One point that you mention and that I'm always saying it out loud is the
fact that blogging is about habit. Educators and learners just don't start blogging. It takes time to find your voice and your pace. Mine is still a hoarse voice, but I'm there, revealing myself and learning more about myself and my teaching style. It's about an encounter with your inner voice that sometimes you didn't even realize it was there. It's funny because that nowadays little facts that happen around me call my attention and I keep thinking to myself, "oh, this could turn into a nice blog post!" or "oh, I HAVE to blog this! I can't just see this and keep quiet". Time is always an issue for us, but still not an excuse for not trying it and seeing how it feels. Yes! As you said, we need to be passionate to inspire our students!"
The main difference between watercolour painting and blogging is that for watercolour you use paints and brushes to express you rideas and thoughts, whereas for blogging we must go round words and thoughts, words and thoughts, which means reflexion in our own learning, until it becomes a habit. The cycle is endless, observation, awareness of the subtleties of communication, of our emotions, the intricansies of interaction, the discovering of 'the other', the reader, the user, the learner's needs, then searching for the appropriate language to express ourthought, to communicate effectively, purposely, to be able to engage others in that endless thread. It's amazing!
Thank you Carla for sharing you learning experience. I think you are a very
able communicator!
A warm hug from Small, but Beautiful Misiones!

Adding some widgets
You will see there're a clock and an English -Spanish dictionary I downloaded from Google gadgets, a shout out box, where you can drop your comments.
I'm not sure about the design , but, you know, I'm already tired and must rush to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
I'm fascinated but do not what my family lurking at my back....

Musical watercolours from our countries
I really like music and could not avoid rejoicing at watching the video. As I live next to Brazil, we frequently travel there for our summer holidays. In general, I think, music from the northeast of Argentina receives a strong influence from Brazil and Paraguay, as well as from European cultures, due to the immigration stream of early 20th.C.
Well,I took the challenge and I looked for some YouTube videos to share with you, these are two chamames that represent our region: 'Sobredosis de Chamamé'
and Chango Spasiuk's 'Mi pueblo, mi casa, mi soledad'
which means 'My town, my house, my loneliness'. How do you like them?
Travelling south into the Argentinian culture, from Misiones to Buenos Aires, you will find tango as the most representative musical genre. I suggest you to watch this audio-video 'Libertango' a version of Piazzola's musical by Spasiuk, too. This is really cool!
Blogging is wonderful. In four weeks we already started sharing our feelings, tastes and knowledge from all over the world. I'm really amazed! still awkward or clumsy about widgets, twitters, RSS, tags, pings, and so on , but joyfully learning ! Congrats for the moderators whose willingnes and encouraging words help us to go on.
I'll be looking forward to every kind of comment, so I may go on learning...

5 things you don't know about me, yet...
Here are the 5 things you still do not knwo about me:
First of all I must confess I love the place where I live, Misiones Province, very much. I could never live anywhere else, or I would miss it a lot. I love its geographical features, it's hilly and full of sub-tropical vegetation. IguazĂș Waterfalls is just a bit of the whole nature around. The province is criss-crossed with streams, creeks, and rivers. Nature is exhuberant here, full of inspiring visions for painters and artists... and visitors from all over the globe.
The woods and forest create a wonderfull environment for different animals, birds, monkeys, jaguaretes, snakes, fish, and so on. Just to show you one of them, here's a photo of a tucan for you all.
We all love animals, in the family. We always have pets around, though now we just have a cat. up tonow we have had a toucan, a parrot, two hamsters, a guinea pig, five gold fish, three dogs, two canaries....
Here's where my ancestors migrated in 1911. My surname is of Swedish origin: Prytz Nilsson. You know why I have double surnames? well, it comes with the evolution of women's rights....When my great grand-mother re-married, after becoming a widow, her five children lost their father's name to take their step father's. Yes, believe or not, from being Prytz they turned into Nilsson. Well, when Einar, my grand father came on age he wrote a letter from Argentina to the king of Sweden asking for permision to go back to his original family name and he got the answer, he was allowed to sign Prytz Nilsson. But yu know, he was the only member of the family who made that request, so we are the only Prytz Nilsson in the world....
Derived from my family tradition, I like embroidering and specially cross- stitching. My great grand mother and grand mother belonged to a women's circle of the Lutheran church, who met every Saturday for reading, chatting and embroidering. Well, that's another thing you did not know about me...
And the last thing is that I guess I'm a slow learner of digital citizenship. I feel I'm coming late to this new era... I start searching for the sites you suggest and it takes me ages to read, understand and apply...I'm lost in this huge, new, brave world... But, there's a but with expectations, too. I do hope I'll be able to overcome this morose way, little by little....never lose hopes....
Dear all, I think I've completed this task for today! See your feed backs later on...
Here's a short video for sharing: parrots from a birds park in Misiones (taken with my cel-phone)
