- DO contact the Office of the Registrar or the Office of the General Counsel with any FERPA related questions.
At the University of West Florida, the privacy of academic records is also protected by Florida Statute Section 1002.22 (2007). The U.S. Department of Education summarizes the rights afforded to students by FERPA as follows:
An education record is any record directly related to a student that is maintained by an educational agency or institution, or by a party acting for the agency or institution.
Examples of an academic record include, but are not limited to:
Academic records do not include:
If a student is attending a postsecondary institution - at any age - the rights under FERPA have transferred to the student. However, in a situation where a student is enrolled in both a high school and a postsecondary institution, the two schools may exchange information on that student. If the student is under 18, the parents still retain the rights under FERPA at the high school and may inspect and review any records sent by the postsecondary institution to the high school. Additionally, the postsecondary institution may disclose personally identifiable information from the student's education records to the parents, without the consent of the eligible student, if the student is a dependent for tax purposes under the IRS rules.
Please see the Office of the Registrar FERPA site for details.
Under the provisions of the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act (FERPA), you have the right to withhold disclosure of the information listed below. The following items are designated as "Directory Information" and may be released by this University to non-institutional persons or organizations:
Your request to withhold directory information will be honored. The University will not assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission for release of these items. The University assumes no liability for honoring your request that such information be withheld.
Yes. If you have indicated Privacy in the Contact and Privacy Information app in MyUWF, we cannot print your name in the program. You will need to uncheck that box and save very early in the semester of your graduation to ensure that your name will be printed.
Withholding your Directory Information prevents UWF from disclosing to the general public any information from student educational records which is designated as "directory information." See Privacy section of Using the Contact and Privacy Info Wizard.
The Full Confidentiality Hold is used only in rare circumstances. Your entire educational record will be suppressed (this includes the Directory Information listed above). But, in addition, all conversations about your educational record must be conducted in person or via your UWF email account. We cannot discuss your record with you (or anyone you designate) over the phone, fax, regular mail, or any email address other than your official UWF email account.
No. If your daughter has authorized us to discuss her records with you and she now has the Full Confidentiality Hold, all conversations about her educational record must be done in person.
If you believe your FERPA rights have been violated, please contact either Student Affairs, the Office of the Registrar or the Office of the General Counsel for assistance.

- DON'T leave graded assignments outside your office door for students to pick up.
- DON'T at any time use the UWF ID of a student in a public posting of grades.
- DO contact the Office of the Registrar or the Office of the General Counsel with any FERPA related questions.
No. The UWF student roster contains the students' photos and IDs.
This is only acceptable if the grades are associated with a randomly generated numeric identifier known and available only to you and the student; this list must not be arranged by alphabetic order. Never post the list using Social Security numbers or UWF IDs.
Statements made by a person making a recommendation that are made from that person's personal observation or knowledge do not require a written release from the student.
However, if personally identifiable information obtained from a student's educational record is included in the letter of recommendation (grades, GPA, etc.), the writer - whether a faculty member or department employee - is required to obtain a signed release from the student which (1) specifies the records that may be disclosed, (2) states the purpose of the disclosure, and (3) identifies the party or class of parties to whom the disclosure can be made. If this letter of recommendation is kept on file by the person writing it, it would be part of the student's educational record, and the student has the right to read it unless he or she has waived that right to access.
Sample student release -
I give permission to Prof. Smith to write a letter of recommendation to:
Allstate Insurance
324 Wilkins Drive
Atlanta, GA 33011
Prof Smith has my permission to include my GPA and grades.
I waive (or do not waive) my right to review a copy of this letter at any time in the future.
Please see the Office of the Registrar FERPA site for details.
You need the information to fulfill a specific professional responsibility. Please contact the Office of the Registrar if you have any questions.
The answer is perhaps. It would be a FERPA violation to include information about any student who has directed the university not to release his/her information. Additionally, without advance written consent, it would be a violation to disclose grades or performance indicators for any student. If you obtain written permission from each student, it would be permissible to include the information. The department would need to retain the written permission as documentation about the release.
All requests for student information, whether by subpoena, court order or authorization, should be sent to the Office of the Registrar for review and processing. If the request calls for more information than is available directly from the Office of the Registrar, those materials will be gathered together under the direction of the Office of General Counsel and submitted as a package in response to the request. Do not be intimidated by a badge. Refer all inquiries to the Office of the Registrar.
Yes. FERPA permits the disclosure of information from student educational records "to appropriate parties in connection with an emergency if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals." For example, if a student sends an email to his resident assistant disclosing that he has just been diagnosed with a highly contagious disease such as measles, the institution could alert the student's roommate, and perhaps others with whom the student has come in close contact, to urge them to seek appropriate testing and medical care. Safety concerns warranting disclosure could include a student's suicidal statements or ideations, unusually erratic and angry behaviors, or similar conduct that others would reasonably see as posing a risk of serious harm to the student and to others.
This exception does not authorize "broadcast" disclosures, but a limited disclosure to a limited number of people, made in good-faith, in light of the facts available at the time. Such disclosure is highly unlikely to be deemed a violation of FERPA, even if the perceived emergency later turns out not to have been one. In general and when reasonably possible, the initial disclosure should be made to professionals trained to evaluate and handle such emergencies, such as campus mental health or law enforcement personnel, who can then determine whether further and broader disclosures are appropriate.
The Federal Family Policy Compliance Office reviews and investigates complaints of violations of FERPA. If the Secretary of Education finds that an institution has failed to comply with FERPA and determines that compliance cannot be secured by any means, he/she can, among other options, direct that no federal funds under his or her administrative control (financial aid, education grants, etc.) be made available to that institution.

I spent 2(10x) hatch, a handful of premiums, and a couple thousand gems just to unlock tier 2. Now if i want Byron or forbid the Annie i have to do this all again after i just wasted the same amount trying to get 1 Red a few days ago? Plus you block the game from even giving premium chests during any event now. What is someone supposed to do? I feel cheated.

In the span of four hours, Berkeley City Council heard presentations regarding three separate development proposals, during which one developer was accused of evading permit fees, one Berkeley resident presented on the value of sunlight and another developer complained of libel and "bamboo trespassing."
During Tuesday evening's special meeting, the council heard a variety of complaints, as the three housing permit applicants clashed with other community members and the council over appeals for building permits.
Listed on the official meeting agenda were three appeals regarding decisions by the Zoning Adjustments Board, or ZAB, on three different housing permits. ZAB had approved housing permits for two of the applicants and denied the third — City Council convened Tuesday night to hear the appeals to all three decisions.
Back to ZAB: 1436 Campus Drive
Nga Pham and Maxim Noginov were among the property owners who appeared in hopes of overturning the decision to deny them permits for a proposed house on their lot, 1436 Campus Drive After hearing from all parties, the city decided to return the case back to ZAB for reconsideration.
During public comment, neighbors of Pham and Noginov's property raised concerns regarding privacy and traffic — some pointed out their concern that the proposed house would be used as a short-term rental or Airbnb instead of a single-family residence. To add to the drama of the night, Pham and Noginov's neighbor Fred Schlachter — who spoke during public comment against the development — said the couple is suing him for libel and "bamboo trespassing," which was confirmed to be true.
Pham said the city has not done its "due diligence" in assessing the validity of these claims made by neighbors. The two added that the ZAB codes and guidelines were unclear, which they alleged is why their application was denied. Pham also expressed that she believed that the city and neighbors were racially profiling them.
Back to ZAB: 1446 Fifth St.
Berkeley residents also spoke out against the approved development of four family homes on 1446 Fifth St., asking the council to refer the case back to ZAB for reassessment.
City council members, including Sophie Hahn, alleged that the developers were attempting to avoid an additional fee required for condominiums, so the council supported the appeal and voted to send the approved application back to ZAB for reconsideration.
Approved for construction: 2334 Jefferson Ave.
For the sake of his home's sunlight exposure, Berkeley resident David Ushijima filed the appeal in order to prevent his next-door neighbor from adding 5.5 feet in height to her house. Ushijima presented a powerpoint of pictures to the council and alleged that the height increase would block direct sunlight from entering his house.
Despite Ushijima's complaints, the City Council decided to affirm the ZAB's decision, allowing neighbor Hilla Abel and her husband to go forward with their expansion plans.
"Sunlight is actually more important than view when it comes to comfort in your home," Ushijima said. "Sunlight never gets a fair hearing."

Skip to comments.Gosnell Babies Burial: Activists rally to bury bodies in Gosnell abortion trial
Posted on 06/11/2013 12:12:45 PM PDT by Mrs. Don-o
Now that the trial for abortion provider Kermit Gosnell has ended with a conviction, many are asking what Philadelphia plans to do with the 47 bodies from the case.
After Gosnell's arrest in 2011, then-Archbishop Justin Rigali asked the district attorney's office for the bodies of the aborted fetuses. After [the trial] ended and Gosnell was sentenced to life in prison, Rigali's successor, Archbishop Charles Chaput, has renewed the request to bury the bodies.
Francis Maier, assistant to Chaput, said "We're not interested in turning it into a circus. Points were made in the trial; now we just want to pay proper respect to the remains. We assume this is going to happen; we just haven't been able to secure it yet."
The ultimate decision will come from the medical examiner's office.
Investigators found 47 bodies from abortions stuffed in cat litter, bags, boxes and juice containers in Gosnell's squalid Philadelphia clinic. On Friday, many anti-abortion activists took to Twitter to demand a proper burial with the hashtag #gosnellbabies.
Frank Pavone, a Catholic priest who heads New York-based Priests for Life, was also among those requesting the bodies. In May, Pavone performed a service to give proper names to the dead babies.
He said he would like to perform a Catholic Mass for the babies and then hold a separate interdenominational burial service.
"We can begin to reverse this dynamic of pain and bring about some healing," Pavone said. "It's a step of healing, of closure for those who have been following this."
Liam Goligher, pastor of the historic Tenth Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, said he would be interested in an interdenominational service.
"I think there's good hope to think that these children are with God," Goligher said. "Some respect has to be shown to the babies."
(Excerpt) Read more at religiontoday.com ...
I think any decent person within 200 miles of Philadelphia should consider attending the funeral. Entire parishes and congregations should come. We need to SHOW that babies are not garbage.
Poor little ones. Their blood cries from the ground.
I thought I heard that the request was denied by the medical examiner, who had custody of the bodies.
I hope they keep trying. Those babies deserve proper burials. An interfaith service sounds like a good idea.
Anybody know?
Catholic ping!
A baby's body was found near the RR tracks near the Catholic Church we now attend; the church turned all out to give that baby a Mass and burial. It was one of the reasons we started going to that church.
God honors those who give the dead -— especially the nameless, kinless victim -— a decent burial. That's underlined in Tobit.

To keep her kitchen stocked and shopping time minimal, she orders package goods from an on-line service at her office.
She buys fresh foods and prepared meals at a local supermarket that is organized to get her in and out as quickly as possible, with complete dinner items grouped together in aisles and self-service, credit-card friendly check-out. No money exchanges hands. No time is wasted wondering what to serve with Rice-A-Roni. No long lines at checkout.
It's the supermarket of the future, where shopping is an adventure in electronic consumption (and, actually, already available in bits and pieces today).
Stores will be more specialized. Regional distribution facilities will arise to pick-and-pack orders placed by interactive TV or computer and deliver them to home or office.
A new breed of stores, like H.E. Butt Grocery Co.'s new Central Market in Austin, Texas, which carries mostly fresh prepared meals and is stocked with imported and hard-to-find items, will dot the neighborhood (see story on Page S-15).
Central to the experience will be efficient and expedient shopping.
"The currency of the '90s has become time," says Mike Gorshe, executive director with Andersen Consulting's food industry division in Chicago. "Our focus has turned to taking advantage of whatever free time we have."
Industry consultants believe much of these applications will be regular fixtures in shoppers lives before the end of the decade.
ShopperVision, a home-shopping system for groceries and drugs, is scheduled to become available to cable TV viewers in Orlando as part of Time Warner's planned Full Service Network this fall.
On the two-way interactive digital system, consumers will see a three-dimensional "electronic replication" of a supermarket, with products in the exact location on TV as they are in the store, says Sandy Goldman, ShopperVision president-ceo. A fulfillment company will handle delivery, at a cost of $5 to $10 per order.
Facilitating the change is a trend toward grocers' acceptance of credit and debit cards, says Mr. Gorshe. Where as recently as a year ago many supermarkets were not equipped for credit cards, today most have realized consumers using cards are buying twice the dollar value in goods than those paying by cash or check, he says.
According to a Food Marketing Institute survey of members, while 70% of respondents said their stores used credit cards in 1993, only 35% of their companies' stores were equipped for credit card usage. By the end of this year, 82% of companies will use credit cards, with 49% of those companies' stores equipped.
Couple that with the average home-delivery purchase of $111-compared with average in-store purchase of $23-and the incentive to participate is obvious.
Companies such as Shopper Express, which runs on the America Online computer network, and Peapod Delivery Systems are tapping into the what Andersen Consulting says is a $130 billion-a-year retail home delivery market.
The target audience is the upscale consumer market hoping to whittle the shopping chore down to a few minutes a week on the computer, says Peapod President Andrew Parkinson, whose company began offering its service in San Francisco-area Safeway stores in 1993 and Chicago-area Jewel Food Stores stores three years earlier.
Since Jewel began working with Peapod, Mr. Gorshe says, the supermarket chain has experienced an 8% sales increase.
Today, a total of more than 7,000 consumers use the system in both markets-with 30% of those customers shopping from the workplace, he says.
The hope is to speed up and shorten the shopping outing.
"The key thing to realize is the store wants those shoppers in and out as quickly as possible, and the consumer wants to do that, too," says Steve Elson, director of marketing at Catalina Marketing, an on-site electronic couponing company. "Anything that slows down that process is not going to be productive or realistic in the future."
Among other technology and advancements, some 30 stores nationwide, including Dominick's Finer Foods in the Chicago area, are testing self-service customer check-out.
A new system of imprinting bar codes with infrared data will provide greater shoplifting security and complement a product under development in South Africa by a Pretoria-based company called CFIR, a research and development company.
The system will use an X-ray device to scan a shopping cart filled with groceries-without unloading, Mr. Gorshe says.
Another 50 U.S. stores are experimenting with LCD (liquid crystal diode) shelf tags, which enable grocers to immediately match a competitor's price, and post specials and promotional tie-ins, he adds. Supermarket companies that are using this technology in select stores include Vons, H.E. Butt, Giant Food Stores and Jewel.
As is the case with much of the new technology, what's holding up shelf tags is the cost; running at $15 each at their introduction in 1989, they're now down to around $6 per tag.
Many of the companies involved opt to tag those 30 or 40 items that account for the greatest volume of sales, he says.
In the future, companies will be able to display specials-complete with audio and full-motion video-on TV monitors with the signals beamed via satellite to all the stores in a chain.
Also emerging is the use of on-line services, such as America Online and CompuServe, which now offer grocery shopping. Customers pick their items, pay by credit card and a regional distribution center fills the order and sends it direct to the customers.
Optimally, this trend-along with the move to deliver package goods from an off-site order fulfillment facility-would free space in the store that otherwise would be taken up by bulky package goods.
"There's no reason [for] the retailer to have stock of items like that," says Matthew Brandabur, managing editor of In-Store, a newsletter on in-store marketing and technology published by Chicago-based Retail Systems Consulting. "You won't be looking at a wall of Cap'n Crunch. You'll be looking at one little panel that says `Cap'n Crunch.'*"
The interactive grocery experience isn't without its pitfalls.
Some people believe the technology will not handle constantly changing retail prices, and that interactivity will leave all but the computer literate "early adapter-adopter" community walking the aisles.
"You're talking about an incredible infrastructure to reprogram the system every day," says Roger Selbert, a Los Angeles-based trend watcher and publisher of FutureScan, an every-other weekly retailing newsletter. "I think that it's a long way in the future, and I don't think it will ever be the way most people shop."
Indeed, shopping on an on-line system may be convenient, but it won't eliminate the grocery store.
"I don't think anything is going to take the place of the smell of fresh-cooked bread," says Mr. Brandabur.

The One "Boho" Piece Definitely Worth Adding to Your Home
The beauty of the boho look lies in how easy it is to make it your own. You don't need to commit to the whole '70s-California-art-teacher aesthetic to nod to the trend. Instead, an accessory or two is just enough. The trinity of boho decor is comprised of three key pieces: Kilim rugs, macrame wall hangings and rattan ottomans.
The last, the ottoman, is arguably the easiest to integrate into a room, since it doesn't require you to think about color or pattern (like with a kilim rug) or to clear wall space. An ottomans can also be used as a side table when topped with a glass top or even a tray. The natural material also makes it look a little bit richer, even at the bargain end of the spectrum.
Franco Albini's design (seen in the living room in the lead of this post by Amber Interiors) transcends time, looking just as stylish now as it did when it originally debuted in the 1960s. It's also the top of the rattan ottoman market: Vintage versions usually command $400+ and reproductions priced around there, like this one from Viva Terra.
Bent rattan ottomans are a little more affordable, especially if you opt for vintage. They were often used as plant stands, so if you're on the hunt on Etsy, consider adding that phrase to your list of search terms. Expect to pay $50 and up for this style. (Feel free to be jealous of Aniko Levai of Place of My Taste who found this one above for $10 and topped it with an Urban Outfitters pintuck pillow.)
Not every rattan ottoman has a '70s look. The Nest Footstool by Cane-line takes the familiar material in a more modern direction with an interesting swirled woven pattern. At $280, it's pricier than the bent rattan ottomans, but less than the Albini design.
The rattan ottoman from the Santa Rosa Collection at The Company Store references Albini's design, but has a rounder profile and a deep tortoiseshell finish. At $299, it's also a higher-priced option. The takeaway? Round ottomans correspond with higher prices on the whole.
Opting for a lighter finish over the usual golden rattan also dials down the boho look, if you prefer a more subtle take on the trend. The whitewashed finish of East At Main's Off-White Rattan Stool ($138, via Overstock) keeps the focus on its curvy form.
Finally, you can also consider another shape entirely, like this rattan ottoman/footstool ($188, via Wayfair). This version definitely has a preppy Serena & Lily-esque vibe to it but still pulls enough weight in the "boho" department if that's the look you're going for.

Founded in 1943 and based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, STAR Financial Bank, or SFB, provides banking and financial services to individual and corporate customers in central and northeastern Indiana.
In 2000, the bank hired a local executive to help develop and lead a new division: equipment finance leasing. When the executive resigned from his position in 2003, the bank consulted with John Handelsman and Present Values for guidance.
"We did business for years with The Vaughn Group, an independent leasing business that John owned," says Bill Wingrove, SFB's Executive Vice President and Chief Credit Officer. "By 2003, John had sold his leasing business and, fortunately, was available to help us work through our challenges."
The abrupt departure of the division's executive brought a host of challenges. "We'd acquired a lease accounting system and were struggling with its set-up and integration with the bank's systems. We were also inexperienced in the tax matters and myriad other details that go along with running a leasing operation," says Wingrove.
"John and his team offered considerable industry and comprehensive operating experience across a variety of lease types that we weren't yet familiar with. He was a catalyst in helping us develop and refine our documentation and business processes, attract originators, manage the accounting side to better administer transactions, and move our leasing operations to the bank's largest growth market."
John served as interim CEO of the bank's equipment finance group for a year, and also as a member of its advisory board, a group he formed to align strategies and improve communications among bank executives. He also led the recruiting and hiring of a new CEO, who went on to lead SFB's equipment finance division for eight years. Today, the division offers and structures a full range of equipment leases and loans for commercial business.
"John was a catalyst in helping us develop and refine our documentation and business processes, attract originators, manage the accounting side to better administer transactions, and move our leasing operations to the bank's largest growth market."
"John helped us see things we couldn't see, not only in our operations, but in our culture," Wingrove says. "We needed to fuse two very different perspectives, that of the banking group, which is relationship-based, and that of the leasing organization, which is more transaction-based."
Over the past decade, since John's consultancy with SFB, transaction volume has increased thirty percent and a new product, operating leases, has been offered as a leasing option. Equally significant is a shift in organizational culture. "We have succeeded in integrating cultures to strengthen our relationships with commercial clients and maximize opportunities to offer leasing products to them," Wingrove says. "This union of cultures is truly a competitive differentiator in our market."

Sailboat launching with a big trailer extension, part 3: messing around with the mast
As dusk approaches, the crew races to get the rigging completed so the boat can be moved away from the mast raising pole and launched.
This photos give a bit of the flavor of the work that was done to step and rig the mast on the Hunter 34, Windependent. Crew members spent all day getting the boat ready to go in the water, and only just made it in time before night fell completely.

Hi Spencer. Thank you for sending your question. Here is what I found -
The simplest answer is that the immediate cause was the assassination of Franz Ferdinand, the archduke of Austria-Hungary. His death at the hands of Gavrilo Princip – a Serbian nationalist with ties to the secretive military group known as the Black Hand – propelled the major European military powers towards war.May 31, 2016

Breaking news from the 8BitDad news wire: the UK dad group "New Fathers 4 Justice" are arranging a rally in front of British Secretary of State for Justice Kenneth Clarke's house. The rally is set for Saturday, January 28 – which is in 24 hours or less, depending on which side of the pond you're on.
New Fathers 4 Justice are known for rallying in favor of father's rights – and usually, their protests consist of wearing superhero costumes and climbing to the roof of someone's office. This time around, costumes are encouraged, and protestors are to bring purple flags, whistles, drums and whatever "loudhailers" are. Us yanks assume it's a cross between a bullhorn and an inhaler. More deets after the hop.
The call-to-action in our e-mail box said:
'Dick Dastardly' David Norgrove's review was a ludicrous sham
Ken Clarke and Jonathan Djanogly alias the 'Slag Brothers' are still living in the Stone Age and attempting to block an automatic presumption of contact for fathers and grandparents after family breakdown.
Let them know we live in the 21st century!
Late last year, David Norgrove's official Family Justice Review suggested that, in part, "No legislation should be introduced that creates or risks creating the perception that there is a parental right to substantially shared or equal time for both parents." Norgrove's report, essentially told fathers that they no longer had a right to their children, and in matters of divorce, would have to go back to court for the right to see them.
Protestors are encouraged stop buggering around and meet at 10:30am in one of two places:
82 Courtenay Street
173 Melton Road
West Bridgeford
There will also be a moment of silence at noon in honor of a father that recently took his own life after a family court case excluded him from his childrens' lives.
And if you'd like more information, check out the event page on Facebook.

I have been telling Lawyer for years that the corner Publix is a little suspicious. Don't get me wrong ... I grew up in Lakeland, Florida home of Publix. I love Publix. But that one is quite shady. The parking lot is ... shall we say ... home to the ladies of the evening. There is an ATM in the far front corner and I have spied more than one male getting some cash and adding a lady on as an extra. Lawyer says he does not believe me ... but I have seen it more than once. To top it off I have also seen a male in his car greet more than one friend in my time on the patio at the mexican joint in the plaza. I do not make this stuff up ... I swear. After it occurred to me exactly what was transpiring in said car I quickly found myself no longer hungry for my veggie taco and side of guac and chips. Still ... he does not believe me.
Well today Babycakes and I popped in Publix for popsicles. I had been to three different grocery stores searching for one brand of popsicles that he likes that do not have food coloring. What a Mommy will do for a sweet boy taken ill with Strep. Anyway ... store #4 and still no favorite popsicles. So Babycakes and I decided to move on and I let her pick out something just for her. Her choice ... Dora shaped popsicles. They looked positively gross ... but she was beside herself with excitement!
As we were leaving I saw the oddest thing yet to happen in that parking lot. The police officer working off duty as security went home with a patron. And not just any patron ... but one that could not even be a day older than 16. She could drive but if she was 18 then I am 25. And I promise you I am not. They were making out in the car like you would not believe and I could not stop staring. It was just like a train wreck ... I was afraid to look away. I could not tear my eyes off them ... even as they drove away. As I think of it I am sure my mouth was wide open and completely embarrassing!
All I am saying is this ... you will not find me giving that particular Publix any more of my money. I am afraid what I will see next!!!
Oh ... and guess what? The very gross looking Dora shaped popsicles are dye free! Who knew? He was thrilled ... at least he ate something!

First sight of the River Walk!
We also walked over to see the Alamo. That was a spectacular sight in the "dark." They have lighting there, of course, lighting up the front of the Alamo…so it looked quite different (and much less crowded) in the EARLY morning hours! While there, we saw a "ranger" who kept the grounds "secure." We talked to him a bit about when to come back to go inside.
First sight of the Alamo!
Even though we had just left Denny's a while ago, we stopped into a McDonald's for a little "snack." This was the first time our children had seen a two-story McDonald's! We ended up eating here a few times while we were in town. It was always open, and it was CHEAP!
A duck family that we watched for quite a while!
We also went back to the Alamo during their "normal" hours.
Awesome cactus on the grounds of the Alamo!
We were all pretty tired by this time, so we returned to the hotel for a little rest.
My husband and I both got shots of this building with the cool clouds in the background!
After we had rested for a while, we decided to visit the River Walk for dinner! We had a wonderful, entertaining, delicious authentic-Mexican meal! It was a great way to end a great day!
Waiting for our food...
The view...
This mariachi band was going around to sing and play at different tables. My husband got them to play at our table. In honor of our children, we got to hear "La Coocaracha."

Light always wins.
Kindness always wins.
John 1:5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
No matter how dark the situation, it cannot overpower the light.
With all the negativity surrounding us daily in this broken world, please don't forget the power of kindness and being a light to others. Whether it's someone you agree with or disagree with, be kind. You just never know what battle someone may be facing. Your words of encouragement may mean more than you could ever imagine.
I have totally been there. You know those days when it seems like nothing is going right. You wake up late, get stopped in traffic on the way to work, spill your coffee in the car, a rude person sets your day off even more, and you end the evening with a headache. It happens, I get it. On the flip side...when you just can't catch a break, then all of a sudden someone reaches out to bring you a fresh (strong) coffee or someone takes the time to listen to you vent. What a difference that makes, right?
Genuine compassion can turn someone's negative into a positive with a simple act of kindness.
Colossians 3:12 You are the people of God; he loved you and chose you for his own. So then, you must clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
For a moment, think about the people who perhaps have a hard time finding any positives in a single day. The people who grumble and complain over small things. The people who just plain aren't nice. And certainly the people who have faced tragedy. Maybe, they simply need someone to show them a smile or say hello in order to get through the day. Perhaps your simple hello will change their outlook so much that they begin to see the light again and find a reason to encourage someone else the next day.
It suddenly becomes a chain reaction.
It makes a difference, people.
I urge you to share a simple act of kindness with one person today. Extend your heart with grace. Make it a genuine act of service. After all, we all need a little encouragement now and then. So why not be that source of light for someone else and be an example of Christ's bright light and love?

Top Ten Tuesday 11/15: Movie Adaptations of Books
A Weekly Meme Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic is a movie freebie. I decided to do my favorite book to movie adaptations. I know this might be a heated topic- a lot of people are very tough on movie adaptations- but I really enjoy seeing my favorite books come to life. As long as they keep mainly to the story and the spirit of the original I'm not too harsh. Feel free to agree to disagree, here are my top ten adaptations (I'm also including graphic novels and TV adaptations of books).
Top Ten Book to Movie Adaptations
1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy
I'm a huge Tolkien fan. He's my favorite author and The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit are my favorite books. Fellowship of the Ring is actually my favorite movie of all time.
2. The Martian
I feel like Matt Damon did an awesome job bringing Mark Watney to life. Plus the special effects were amazing.
3. Atonement
Atonement is my favorite Ian McEwan novel. Like the book the movie is heartbreaking and beautiful. I love the costumes and the music! And James McAvoy and Keira Knightley are great as always.
4. The Painted Veil
Based on the super underrated novel by M. Somerset Maugham (go read it!) it's an amazing movie. Beautiful costumes, beautiful setting (1920's China), beautiful soundtrack, amazing acting (Naomi Watts and Edward Norton) what's not to like? The story is also complex and compelling.
5. Doctor Strange
A super recent one ( don't worry- no spoilers). I love all the Marvel adaptations but I'm a fan of the Doctor Strange comics so it was nice to see it come to life. They got the look down and Benedict Cumberbatch did a great job with the character. The special effects were awesome and I like that they stuck with the weird feel of the comics (not to mention the humor).
6. V for Vendetta
This might get me punched in the face but I actually like the movie better than the graphic novel, although don't get me wrong I do love the graphic novel.
7. Outlander
Another case of great casting I love the show and how they've done justice to the books and the characters. There is also the amazing costumes and music plus the beautiful setting.
8. Game of Thrones
I love the Song of Ice and Fire novels and love the show even as it's gone past the books. There's not much to say other than it's awesome and George R. R. Martin is awesome.
9. Hamlet (The David Tennant/Patrick Stewart version specifically)
Hamlet is my favorite play and there are a lot of good versions out there (I really loved the recent Benedict Cumberbatch one). But this remains my favorite. They did a good job adapting it from stage to film and of course the acting is just absolutely amazing. I usually don't like modern costumes and settings for Shakespeare plays but they did a really great job. You can watch it on the PBS website (it may depend on where you live if it's available, I'm not too sure).
10. Pride and Prejudice (2005)
There are a ton of versions of this beloved novel and this one just happens to be my favorite.
11. Madame Bovary (2000)
As for Madame Bovary, the newest version was good but I wasn't happy with the ending (spoilers ahead) I felt that by making Emma's death really quick and painless and even beautiful that they missed the entire point of the plot*. I felt like the point was Emma is stuck in a fantasy Romance in her mind and can't come to grips that life isn't like that. She chooses to kill herself thinking that it will be quick and tragically beautiful like the books she's read but instead is messy and painful. It's a cautionary tale regarding Romanticism in a way. I felt like the 2000 version captured this very well. Plus I really like Hugh Bonneville. *note-this is just one interpretation of the novel and I am not trying to say it's the correct or only one.
Bonus: I'm really looking forward to the adaptation of American Gods by Neil Gaiman!

Supreme Court of South Carolina
August 16, 2017
Renwick D. Mose, Petitioner,v.State of South Carolina, Respondent. Appellate Case No. 2015-000609
Submitted February 9, 2017
From Williamsburg County R. Ferrell Cothran, Jr., Circuit
Court Judge
Appellate Defender Wanda H. Carter, of South Carolina
Commission on Indigent Defense, of Columbia, for Petitioner.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney
General Julie Amanda Coleman, of Columbia, for Respondent.
granted certiorari to review the dismissal of Renwick
Mose's application for Post-Conviction Relief (PCR). Mose
contends that, although the Clerk of Court formally stamped
his application as "filed" three days after the
statute of limitations period ended, he complied with the
one-year statute of limitations because he delivered his
application to prison authorities for mailing within one year
of the date of his conviction.[1] Mose now seeks reversal of the
PCR judge's ruling so that he may receive a PCR hearing
on the merits of his application. We reverse and remand.
Factual / Procedural History
March 7, 2013, Mose pled guilty to the lesser-included
offense of burglary in the second degree and as indicted for
assault and battery in the first degree, pursuant to
North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25 (1970). The
plea judge sentenced Mose to twelve years' imprisonment
for burglary and ten years' imprisonment for assault and
battery, to be served concurrently. Mose did not appeal his
guilty plea or sentences.
In a
PCR application, dated February 18, 2014, Mose alleged that
he was denied due process, effective assistance of counsel,
and his right to a speedy trial. The Verification and
Application to Proceed Without Payment of Costs both indicate
they were sworn to and subscribed before a notary public on
February 18, 2014. However, Mose's PCR application was
stamped "filed" by the Williamsburg County Clerk of
Court on March 10, 2014.
State filed a Return and moved to dismiss Mose's PCR
application, arguing that the application was barred by the
one-year statute of limitations as provided by section
17-27-45(A) of the South Carolina Code (2014). By order dated
October 1, 2014, the PCR judge issued a Conditional Order of
Dismissal, which allowed Mose twenty days to submit factual
or legal reasons why his application should not be dismissed.
filed a response in which he maintained he placed the PCR
application in the prison mailbox on February 18, 2014, the
day the PCR application was notarized. Mose asserted the
application was deemed "filed" at the time it was
mailed pursuant to the "prison mailbox rule" as
enunciated in Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266 (1988).
Mose also attached an affidavit in which he stated an
associate warden at the prison investigated the date Mose
submitted his PCR application and discovered the application
was mailed on February 18, 2014, and the envelope used to
mail the application contained the same date.[2]
order dated February 5, 2015, the PCR judge summarily
dismissed Mose's PCR application, finding Mose filed it
outside of the one-year statute of limitations.
Standard of Review
In PCR
actions, the burden of proof is on the applicant. Butler
v. State, 286 S.C. 441, 334 S.E.2d 813 (1985).
"This Court gives great deference to the factual
findings of the PCR court and will uphold them if there is
any evidence of probative value to support them."

Undeniably, coffee makes a fantastic drink. Most of us find our mornings as incomplete if they are not supplemented with a cup of coffee. Coffee is not only associated with a reduced risk of cancer, depression, and diabetes, but also a great energy-booster. However, have you ever thought about the possible dangers of over-indulging in your morning cup of coffee? What of the jitters, dehydration, heartburn, and stomach upset?
If you wish for naturally sustainable energy, then you should consider healthier alternative morning drinks to kick-start your metabolism. These drinks will keep you alert both mentally and physically throughout the day. Read on for the five great drinks to start the day instead of coffee
- Green Tea
Every time I think of healthy drinks, water always comes to mind. However, there are many potent drinks that need to be in our diets. Among these drinks is green tea which can treat both minor and major conditions such as indigestion and osteoporosis. Green tea is known for its potent disease-fighting properties.
Why you need a cup of green tea in the morning?
Green tea contains polyphenols and flavonoids at high concentrations. The tea also contains antioxidants which are vital in limiting the growth of tumors and warding off carcinogens by the action of improved neutralization of free radicals within your body.
The antioxidants present in green tea are essential in guarding the boy against cardiovascular problems through blood vessel relaxation. Relaxed blood vessels mean limited blood clot formation which in turn inhibits strokes and heart attacks.
Green tea will also strengthen your teeth owing to its fluoride contents. In addition to this, your bones benefit from its flavonoids which trigger the healthy growth of bones alongside reduced tooth decay and osteoporosis. You can choose the best green tea on the market based on the hint of this article.
- Wheatgrass, Aloe Vera, and Amla Juice
A blend of wheatgrass, Aloe Vera, and Amla works miracles. As you wake up, this is the perfect juice to kick-start your metabolism. Take a teaspoon of powdered wheatgrass, another teaspoon of Aloe Vera pulp, Amla juice, and a glass of water and mix the contents. After drinking this juice, wait for a minimum period of thirty minutes before you can eat anything.
Aloe Vera, Amla, and wheatgrass are recommended for the best detoxification and metabolism results. You may also opt to take the juices from these ingredients separately, and their effectiveness will still be desirable. You can achieve even better metabolism results when you add honey and cinnamon to this juice.
- Low-Fat Milk
When you take milk with one percent reduced fat, you work toward curbing your cravings. The milk also is efficient in the prevention of osteoporosis. Milk is known to contain all the elements of a healthy meal like protein, carbohydrates, and minimal fat. Thus, your body absorbs milk for longer, thereby helping you to stay full for longer.
Milk further works well to stabilize the levels of your blood sugar, a feature which makes it an effective diet for reduced cravings. Research shows that milk is one of the best calcium sources due to its vitamin D deposits. Vitamin D is ideal for optimal absorption of calcium.
Intake of low-fat milk promotes weight loss. By accessing ample calcium amounts from milk, your body cells are triggered to fat instead of storing it. This leads to loss of unwanted weight.
- Orange Juice
If you have been drinking orange juice because of its sweet taste, then you are yet to know the health benefit of this delicacy. Experts hold that orange juice is helpful in boosting immunity as well as warding off birth defects, cataracts, and some cancer types. Orange juice is one of the best vitamin C sources. With its potent antioxidants, the juice has been associated with reduced vulnerability to lung cancer and cloudy eye lenses.
Vitamin C has the potential to discourage oxidative damage which is known to promote cancerous growths. Vitamin C further enhances the functionality of your immune cells; thus, your body is better suited to fight disease-causing pathogens. The juice also provides the body with folate which fights fetal-related neural tube defects.
- Cranberry Juice
Drink this juice in the morning for strong teeth and reduced risk of gum disease. Research has shown a relationship between the body's ability to fight urinary tract complications and enhanced protection against periodontal infections as a result of the antibacterial properties of cranberry juice. The presence of the nondialyzable material (NDM) in cranberry juice has been linked to the inhibition of bacteria from sticking on gums.
Due to the high sugar content in processed cranberry fruit juice, consider taking an all-natural cranberry juice. If you cannot DIY your morning glass of cranberry juice, then you should settle for juice with such labels as 100% natural. Visit your local health-food stores for this juice type.
Try these potent morning drinks for a perfect morning power jolt score without having to rely on coffee.

Well-known member
I would like to have an add-on that allows board admins to run a torrent tracker on their forum install. Some features could be:
- A page listing all uploaded torrents, with the current number of seeds/leechers
- Admin interface to specify which usergroups are allowed to view/upload from/download to the tracker
- It could be entirely php-based but being allowed to use something such as XBT Tracker for the backend would be nice. (http://xbtt.sourceforge.net/tracker/)

I play guitar.
I would like to be in a band again. I live near Cambridge. See my profile for rough approximation of 'taste'.
I try to sound like I'm a playing in an imaginary half sonic youth/half fugazi supergroup. I don't sound like that, obviously, but I do try.
PM me.
I neither sing nor drum. I can shout but it makes me puke. Maybe that's a good thing?

The Fort Wayne Children's Choir has been teaching music literacy, and other skills, for 44 years to Fort Wayne-area children.
"What started as [a single choir] with a handful of kids has grown to eight choirs with 315 kids," Executive Artistic Director Jonathan Busarow said.
Musical literacy, rather than raw singing talent, is emphasized in the choir and the yearly auditions, which take place in May and June.
"During the audition, we're going to try to assess how much music knowledge they have," Managing Director Amber Foster said. "It's not so much an audition to say if you're good enough to get in, it's an audition to say where is your skill set at now, how does that align with our current ensemble structure and where are we going to place you?"
One of the biggest challenges the Fort Wayne Children's Choir seeks to overcome is the barrier of cost, Busarow said.
On average, participation in the FWCC costs $585 for the year, he said, adding they try to make it more accessible with 10-month payment plans and financial assistance. Busarow added 40 percent of current participants in the FWCC receive some kind of assistance.
"We like to make sure no kid is turned away because of money and we make sure we don't let that sticker price…be anything that scares people away. We try to find answers to all those things," he said.
The Fort Wayne Children's Choir has eight choirs, divided mostly by age. The apprentice choir comprises mostly third-graders. Then there's the lyric choir and the treble choir, the latter of which performs with the Fort Wayne Ballet in its annual "Nutcracker" performance. These groups meet once a week for about an hour and a half.
The concert choir is made up of mostly middle-schoolers, who get to participate in the Children's Choir's biggest performances including its Holiday Pops concert with the Fort Wayne Philharmonic Orchestra.
"To sing with the Philharmonic on the Embassy stage and the fun that they've had doing those shows" is one of the top memories for choir alumni, Busarow said. "It's a professional ensemble, and what our kids experience is that they too are professionals when they step on that stage."
For high schoolers there's the youth chorale, who are "typically kids who have come all the way through the program, so though they only have one rehearsal a week their music reading skills are top-notch and they can sing all sorts of difficult music," Busarow said.
Within the overall youth chorale is also the chamber singers, consisting of a "mobile" eight to 12 children who perform at community functions and rehearse once a week, and the boy choir, which meets once a month.
"We want to foster those boys, their singing abilities. We want to help them as their voices start to change, but we also want to give them a nice little social opportunity," Busarow said.
There is also the Whitley Community Children's Choir based in Columbia City, that while performing at other Fort Wayne Children's Choir shows also perform at community events in Whitley County.
At the end of July the FWCC hosts a camp for students, followed by their first concert at the Foellinger outdoor theater.
Their next concert is their Harvest Concert, which takes place 4-6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 5, at the IPFW Rhinehart Music Center. Tickets are $8-$10 and are available through the IPFW ticket office or online at ipfw.edu/tickets. Alumni are invited to attend at no charge.
"The fall concert is really, beyond Choralfest … the community's first chance to see all of our ensembles en masse together after they've had some intense time together," Foster said of the concert.
This year's theme is color, with the music and projections to fit.
"People will really have a chance to connect with what they are hearing," Busarow said. "What does this color evoke? That's the element that we're going to be exploring in the fall."
The culmination of the year comes the first Sunday in May, falling on May 6 in 2018.
"We have this concert that's really sort of 'look what we've done in the course of this year' … you get to really see their progress from the beginning of the year to the end of the year," Busarow said.
Throughout the year and their time in the choirs, the students not only progress in their singing talent, but in other traits as well – Busarow listed leadership skills, teamwork and working collaboratively toward a common goal as a few.
"One thing that I've witnessed is the confidence because not many kids have the opportunity to perform," Foster said.
"It's great to watch these kids grow musically and otherwise," Busarow said.
