The Top 10 Cheetos Flavors Ranked from Yuck to Yum
If you HEART fiery hot poppers and other smokin' hot jalapeño recipes, you must love where Frito-Lay has been going with some of the latest flavor combos. If Flamin' Hot Ranch or Flamin' Hot Limon aren't spicy enough to inflame your senses, you can always spring for the XXtra Flamin' Hot. Or maybe you prefer a spicy puff that's heavy on the CHEESE? Cheddar Jalapeño could be calling your name. And then there's the originals that started this whole cheese puff extravaganza — some fans believe you can't improve on the original. Here's where we think all the flavors fall on the taste continuum, ranked from bracing to blissful.
10. Chicken: Who doesn't love chicken? But can faux chicken flavor in a cheese puff really translate? It's the sheer novelty factor that makes us willing to give it a try.
9. XXtra Flamin' Hot: Unless you're the type to BYOS (bring your own Sriracha), the double-hot flavor of these puffs might be a bit extreme. But for those who love to set fire to your taste buds, you'll go through this bag like a hot knife through butter.
8. Flamin' Hot: The original Flamin's win the prize for most often used in a food hybrid recipe. Looks like someone's preparing to make some XXtra hot street corn, Cheetos-style. Now that's a party we'd like to attend!
7. Flamin' Hot Limon: Jalapeño-lime is a classic pairing. This intriguing flavor combo could go down easy as a tall, cool jalapeño margarita.
6. Flamin' Hot Chipotle Ranch: Everyone's fave ranch dip + flamin' hot Cheetos = a tantalizing flavor bomb. Is it total genius or 100-percent fusion confusion? It ranks in the middle because everyone's taste is different and this could fall either way.
5. Cheddar Jalapeño: Who doesn't HEART jalapeño poppers? Some fans love this flavor combo so much, they match their makeup to the bag. Now that's an inspiring taste!
4. XXtra Cheesy Mix: For those who love cheese more than their S.O., this is the flavor for you. You need this in your life RIGHT NOW.
3. Ketchup: If there's anything better on crunchy snacks than Ketchup, we haven't seen it. This flavor gives the others a run for the money. And fur babies everywhere second that vote.
2. Original Crunchy: You really can't go wrong with the original crunchy Cheetos. One bite into that crispy, cheesy goodness and your tastebuds will transport you to salty-snack paradise.
1. Original Puffs: Remember your first bite into an original Cheetos Cheese Puff? It was like biting into a fluffy pillow of cheesy goodness that had you floating on a cloud. Yeah, it was that good!
In case anyone's wondering what happens when a Cheetos aficionado doesn't get their fix… the "hangries" come calling, and things might get ugly.

What If: 2011-12 vs. 1976-77
Maybe we should call this one the 'injury game.' Today's What If Tournament matchup pits two teams whose tournament runs were hampered by hobbled players. You know about the 7th-seeded 2011-12 team. Leslie McDonald and Dexter Strickland went down with ACL tears. John Henson and Kendall Marshall suffered wrist injuries (and in Marshall's case, a fractured elbow as well). The 10th-seeded 1976-77 Tar Heels lost to Marquette in the national championship game. That team suffered their own maladies: Tom Lagarde (knee), Walter Davis (finger) and Phil Ford (back) yet made a valiant run.
This is the What If Tournament, so everybody's healthy, and Ed Davis is a senior Tar Heel. Injured or 'What if' players are highlighted. Who gets your vote?
2011-12 What If Tar Heels
Coach: Roy Williams
Strengths: Depth (McD, Henson, JMM, Bullock all on bench)
Weaknesses: Outside shooting
Will win the tournament if: Barnes and Hairston can make shots from perimeter
Will lose in first round if: Marshall fractures his scaphoid bone
Captains: Davis/Zeller
This team in one word: Unselfish
1976-77 What If Tar Heels
Coach: Dean Smith
Strengths: Great leaders in Ford and Davis
Weaknesses: Size (O'Koren at PF)
Will win the tournament if: Ford and Davis shine, young forwards Wolf and Yonakor help bolster small starting front line
Will lose in first round if: O'Koren's lasck of size and experience get exposed, teams key on backcourt
Captains: Ford/Davis/LaGarde
This team in one word: Leadership
Mikey in DFWWho guards Ford?

Taraba top politician, Chief David Sabo Kente, is now embroiled in a fresh matrix. The Supreme Court has rejected his request to withdraw his suit against Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku.
It would be recalled that in an exclusive interview with journalists, Chief Kente had ordered his lawyer to withdraw the case, citing personal reasons for the action.
Kente had said that the case was becoming a money guzzler, alleging that both the Governor and other opposition elements were feeding fat on the suit.
He also said he had nothing to gain in the case, even as he advanced a sum of N500,000 (five hundred thousand naira) as cost to withdraw the suit.
But in a new development, the Supreme Court had written Kente's lawyers stressing that the case must go on, and April 7th has been set aside for judgement on the matter.
An aide of Kente, Kelvin Nuvalga told Journalists that his boss was no longer interested in the matter as it does not reflect his current political direction.
Kente had come under intense criticisms for withdrawing the case, with some of his fans, supporters and political associates, charging him for "selling out".

There is incredible power in understanding how teams, players, leagues and markets have reacted to various scenarios. Using Bet Labs massive database of proprietary sports betting information you can easily build and explore data-driven betting systems.
Each week we will provide trends for the top teams in college football. Some trends will be team specific and others situational. Our database goes back to 2005, the trends include all games in that time frame unless otherwise mentioned.
No. 1 Alabama (-27.5) vs. Ole Miss
Alabama is rolling with few speed bumps in sight. Currently, there are only three ranked opponents left on the Tide's schedule with a road trip to No. 13 Auburn being the toughest.
- Bama is undefeated at home under Saban as a favorite of 14 or more points against SEC teams (23-0 SU, 14-9 ATS)
No. 2 Clemson (-6.5) at No. 12 Virginia Tech
Dabo Swinney's team has answered the bell in each of its last two meetings against top 25 teams. Can Clemson do it once more in Blacksburg? A majority of spread bets are on the Tigers to cover as road favorites.
- In the last 5 years, the team getting <50% of spread bets in a matchup of top 25 conference teams: 94-65 (59.7%) ATS
No. 3 Oklahoma (BYE)
Oklahoma won a closer than expected game against Baylor but the Sooners will have a week off to make any needed adjustments. OU has four winnable games before traveling to Stillwater to face No. 15 Oklahoma State and a matchup at home against No. 9 TCU in consecutive weeks. The first game after the break is at home against Iowa State.
- Top 5 teams, at home against unranked conference opponent: 62-80 (43.7%) ATS
No. 4 Penn State (-16.5) vs. Indiana
Should a near loss be concerning for Penn State? The big takeaway from their nail biter with Iowa was that they won. The team's playoff hopes are still alive. As big favorites the Nittany Lions are expected to win against Indiana but highly ranked teams don't often cover in this spot.
- Top 10 teams at home after failing to cover previous week: 129-160 (44.6%) ATS
No. 5 USC (-4) at No. 16 Washington State
It's not often that the public isn't backing USC but at the time of publication less than 50% of spread bets were on the Trojans. The No. 5 team in the country has failed to cover in back-to-back games.
- In top 25 matchups, a favorite getting less than 50% of spread bets: 114-84 (57.6%) ATS
College Football Pro Systems
All picks in 2017 have gone 90-64 (58.4%), +25.68 units
No. 6 Washington (-26.5) at Oregon State
Washington is a Pac-12 title contender, soft non-conference schedule be damned. The Huskies will be doubted but they'll continue to beat up against inferior opponents.
- Chris Petersen's teams as a road favorite against unranked teams: 29-17 (63.0%) ATS
No. 7 Georgia (-7) at Tennessee
Is this a letdown spot for Georgia? The Bulldogs had an impressive win over a ranked Mississippi State team last week, now go on the road against another SEC rival. The Georgia-Tennessee game hasn't been decided by more than eight points since 2010.
- Top 10 teams on the road in SEC games: 64-79 (44.8%) ATS
- Since 2010: 38-51 (42.7%) ATS
No. 8 Michigan (BYE)
Starting quarterback Wilton Speight left Michigan's Week 4 win over Purdue in the first half with what Jim Harbaugh is calling a "soft tissue" injury. Getting a bye week is perfect timing for Michigan.
- Top 25 teams off a bye as home favorites in the 1st half: 82-57 (59.0%) ATS
No. 9 TCU (BYE)
TCU had the biggest upset of last weekend knocking off No. 6 Oklahoma State and propelling themselves into the National Championship conversation. The Frogs are getting a lot of hype after the big win, a perfect time to fade Gary Patterson's team.
- Top 10 teams off a top 10 win: 57-81 (41.3%) ATS
No. 10 Wisconsin (-14.5) vs. Northwestern
The Badgers are well rested after a bye week. This has notoriously been a bad spot for opposing teams against top 25 units with extra time to prepare.
- Top 25 teams off a bye (14 days between games) at home: 94-63 (59.9%) ATS


text: Shifting Religious Landscape September 3, 2015 Even in the United States, where Christian faith continues to play a more prominent role in national affairs, one can easily find anecdotal evidence of how Christianity is slowly moving from the center of culture to a more peripheral role in many parts of national life. An example of this is in the US's own 9/11 memorials. Three days after the horrible events of September 11, 2001, a memorial service held in Washington offered a distinctly Christian perspective, including Rev. Billy Graham as guest preacher. However, another memorial service was held shortly thereafter at Yankee Stadium in New York City, and this service was hosted by Oprah Winfrey and included a variety of religious traditions. This was a signal of the shifting religious landscape of America, telling those present and those watching around the country that Christianity, while still a part of American life, no longer held the exclusive place that it once did in times when the nation came together and looked to religion for answers. — Lee Beach (2015)

Whether it's a huge corporate event or a small office party, your primary concern should always be the space of the venue. When planning the space, you don't want to end up with one that's too small so that your guests can't move about comfortably, or one that's too large that they get lost in it. As a general rule, you have to make sure every person has at least 2.5 square feet of space, especially if it's a stand-up cocktail reception. For round tables, make sure a table that can seat 10 people get a 10-foot square space.
Staff and Equipment
Whether you like it or not, the staff at your event can make or break your party. A party that doesn't have enough staff to take care of the food and the guests can turn into a disaster in no time. To properly staff your event, you should have a person in charge to oversee or supervise the event. Along with a supervisor, there should be one one waiter per 25 to 40 guests, 1 bartender for 70 guests, and enough number of chefs depending on the size of the party.
Sufficient equipment is also necessary for a party to turn out great. As much as possible, prepare the proper amount of equipment such as china and glassware for your event so that your staff won't have to spend most of their time washing dishes. More often than not, people get second helpings at parties, so it would be a good idea to double the number of china you are preparing.
Food & Beverages
Any party should be overflowing with food and drinks. For a pre-dinner cocktail event, there should be at least three pieces of hors d'oeuvres per guest. For buffets, the caterer usually sends portions of each of the food item per guest, since guests would pick a little bit of each food item more often than not.
For beverages, you have to keep in mind that not all of your guest would consider the food as the highlight of your event. To plan a bar that's adequately stocked, keep in mind that an average person would consume a minimum of three alcoholic beverages and a maximum of six. However, that is just an estimate and you would never really know until the event. For that reason, it is a good idea to have more drinks on hand. This would mean preparing at least 1 bottle of wine per two persons and one bottle of beer per individual.
As you can see, planning a corporate event takes a lot of time and effort. But if you can keep these things in mind, there is no way you won't have a party that's wonderful and truly memorable!

Gold and silver were trading marginally lower in deals on Thursday on account of subdued demand of precious metals from jewellers, industries and retailers.
MCX Gold futures were down 0.10 per cent, or Rs 30, at Rs 29,495 per 10 gram, while MCX Silver futures were down 0.13 per cent, or Rs 52, at Rs 39,659 per 1 kg at around the same time. However, it is said, Bullion counter may trade with volatile path as the US industrial production along with movement of greenback to give further direction to the prices.
Oil markets were stable on Thursday as rising US crude production and inventories were countered by expectations that OPEC will extend an ongoing production cut during a meeting at the end of this month.
Brent crude futures, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at $61.98 per barrel at 0438 GMT, 11 cents above their last close. US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures were at $55.37 a barrel, 4 cents up from their last settlement. Despite these slight gains, Brent and WTI have lost around 4 percent in value since hitting 2015 highs last week, pulled down in part by rising crude availability in the United States.
US crude inventories rose for a second week in a row, building by 1.9 million barrels in the week to Nov. 10 to 459 million barrels, the government's Energy Information Administration (EIA) said on Wednesday. That compared to analyst expectations in a Reuters poll for a decrease of 2.2 million barrels. US crude oil production hit a record of 9.65 million barrels per day (bpd), meaning output has risen by almost 15 percent since their most recent low in mid-2016.
Malaysian palm oil futures rose on Thursday after five consecutive sessions of declines on technical correction and support from overnight gains in Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soyoil.
The benchmark palm oil contract for February delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange was up 0.6 percent at 2,747 ringgit ($657.65) a tonne at the midday break. Traded volumes stood at 19,864 lots of 25 tonnes each at noon.
The ringgit's strength continues to cap palm's upside but we're not sure if the ringgit can strengthen further. Palm declined to its weakest since Oct. 19 on Wednesday as the ringgit hit its strongest in about a year against the dollar. Gains in the ringgit, the currency of trade for palm, usually make the edible oil more expensive for foreign buyers.
The Malaysian currency was down 0.1 percent at 4.1775 around Thursday noon. Palm oil prices are also affected by movements in other edible oils as they compete for a share of the global vegetable oils market.
The December soybean oil contract on the Chicago Board of Trade surged over 2 percent in the previous session on reports of strong demand. It was down 0.4 percent on Thursday. US soybean processors accelerated their crush pace in October to the fifth highest on record and second highest ever for the month, the National Oilseed Processors Association said on Wednesday.
Spot basis offers for soymeal in the US Midwest were steady on Wednesday as futures snapped back from recent lows, helped by short-covering a higher soybean contracts, said dealers.
Chicago Board of Trade soybeans shrugged off new contract lows, with buying before the National Oilseed Processors Association's monthly soy crush report on Wednesday at 11 a.m. CST (1700 GMT). Chicago Board of Trade December soymeal futures at 10:53 a.m. CST (1753 GMT) were up $2.40 at $312.70 per ton.
Tea prices in Bangladesh fell at the weekly auction, snapping a two-week run of gains, but strong demand for quality leaf capped a steeper decline amid tight supplies. Bangladeshi tea fetched an average price of 234.43 taka ($2.80) per kg at the auction on Tuesday, compared with 236.72 taka at the previous sale, National Brokers said.
There was muted demand from buyers, but strong demand for quality leaf helped limit a steep drop in prices when supplies were lower than last week, a senior official with National Brokers said.
Around 8.7 percent of the 2.36 million kg offered at the sole auction centre in Chittagong remained unsold. In the previous auction, 14.8 percent of the 2.55 million kg on offer was unsold. Bangladesh's tea production rose nearly 27 percent last year to a record 85 million kg, a harvest that was seen as big enough to make imports unnecessary. The South Asian country was the world's fifth-largest tea exporter in the 1990s but is now a net importer due to a surge in domestic consumption.
South Korea's largest feedmaker Nonghyup Feed Inc. (NOFI) purchased around 68,000 tonnes of corn to be sourced from optional origins in an international tender which closed on Wednesday, European traders said.
The corn was purchased at $187.78 a tonne c&f plus a $1.00 a tonne surcharge for additional port unloading. No purchase was made of two other consignments of up to 69,000 tonnes also sought by NOFI, traders said. The 68,000 tonnes was bought from trading house CHS, they said. Traders said they suspected the corn was likely to be sourced from the United States or South America. The yellow corn purchased was for 2018 shipment between Feb. 15 to March 6 if sourced from the US Pacific North West Coast or from Jan. 26 to Feb. 14 if from the US Gulf.

My GardenBook - 2010
After helping her mother weed, water, and chase the rabbits from their garden, a young girl imagines her dream garden complete with jellybean bushes, chocolate rabbits, and tomatoes the size of beach balls.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
I loved this story with full of imagination. I wish I had this book when I was a kid. As a parent, I'm happy to have discovered this book for my kids. We read it every other night and talked about what kind of garden we would like to have.
For this young female narrator, dreaming of a fantastic backyard garden complete with color-changing flowers, jellybean bushes, and hundreds of butterflies turns the mundane task of helping her mother maintain their real-life backyard garden into a dreamy, paradisiac mental retreat. Lush, inspired illustrations easily whisk readers into this world of limitless imagination.
Excellent example of getting into the head of a child and what they'd think qualifies as a cool garden. My three-year-old didn't choose this one, but has requested having it read to her every other night or so. Illustrations are fun and colorful, though very pastel, so may appeal more to a girl audience.

I attended a coaching workshop for sprinters hosted by Athletics Australia and internationally acclaimed Coach Henk Kraaijenhof. Henk is one of those charming, quirky presenters who understands material at a very fundamental level. If someone really knows what they are talking about, I find they can explain it to a 10 year old. Henk's one of those masters.
Armed with a very deep understanding of exercise science and human physiology, Henk translated neurology, physiology, psychology, endocrinology into everyday stories that coaches could use for their own athletes. He's both scientific and independent in his approach. He uses biological principles in training, but is not so guided by research that he'd overlook the reality of the results he gets from his athletes...just because a study dictates it should be so. At the end of the day, he and his athletes are after Olympic medals, and there are too many variables that need to be tailored to the individual athlete to reduce such complexity down to a one size fits all recipe.
A few principles I really liked which I think can be further applied to other sports.
- Specificity of training
- 10% rule
- Super-maximal methods of training
- Train as little as possible to get the desired result
Specificity of training refers to sport specific approaches to training. I like this concept a lot, and it marries up to my approach to treatment quite closely. For example, a sprinter has a preponderance of Type II, fast twitch muscle fibers. He or She needs to train as specifically as possible for explosive, powerful movements to build these muscle fibres. As such, each aspect to training should mimic sprinting whenever possible, and develop power, not endurance Type I fibers. When a sprinter's movements begin to require more endurance, he or she is no longer benefitting from the training. There needs to be a specific quality of movement
For example Henk, resistance weights can be used to increase 1) power or 2) strength or 3) endurance, each having a certain advantage. A sprinter needs power: they need to move a certain amount of weight from point A to point B very quickly.
A good example of this type of powerful, explosive strength is found here:
The obvious flaw in this video is that the movements are upper body, not lower limb or full body sport specific movements. However, this concept could be applied to sprinting type movements, such as a lunge or squat. Really explosive movement patterns. Below is a good sport specific version.
Notice in the above videos how the reps are very brief? 5 or 6 reps. Any time the movement patterns go beyond that, the athlete is no longer training Type II muscle. They begin to train the slow twitch fibers, which are dependent upon the oxygen transport system. This is not helpful to a sprinter. The above 2 videos also display the 10% rule. Do you notice after 5 or 6 seconds, the athlete begins to struggle to push the weight? Again, they are no longer working with the Type II muscle. It's actually detrimental to their training. If your explosive acceleration with moving the weight begins to drop off by 10%, it's time to stop. You are doing too many repetitions for the desired effect.
This simple mistake for overlooking power in favor of maximum force, or heavy weight, is so common that I began to get frustrated looking for sprinters on youtube performing the actual movements correctly. You very often see them getting stronger, performing maximum heavy lifts, but moving heavy weights very slowly. Here, strength increases, however, it lacks the acceleration aspect that will translate so sport specifically to sprinting and explosive patterns.
Here is an example of a sprinter who is lifting heavy, getting stronger, but lacking the explosive movement required.
Another mistake regarding the 10% rule is demonstrated in this video below. Here, the movements take too long for a sprinter. It might be appropriate for another type of athlete, but the power aspect looks nothing like what would be appropriate for a sprinter. Notice how as he goes through the repetitions, his ability to return from the squat takes longer? Here, the lifting is training type I fibers. Not useful for a type II sprinter in need of explosive power.
In this sence, it's important to educate sprinters and explosive athletes that more is not better. Train as little as possible to get the desired outcome. It's the law of diminishing returns. Also, as one trains less, there is less opportunity for injury. In this way, the athlete gets all the gains, with less risk of injury.
Another way Henk applies sport specificity to resistance training is in how he sees sprinters apply resistance. There are many examples, but Henk suggests dragging a sled is the most applicable to sprinting. It's cost effective and provides the best type of resistance, which is constant and continuous.
You might be familiar with sprinters who use parachutes. Parachutes actually are not as sport specific, as their resistance slows down the leg turn over. The athlete then is not performing a movement that mimics sprinting.
Another concept Henk discussed was supramaximal efforts. How does one get supramaximal sprinting?
- Wind
- Altitude
- Down Hill Sprinting
- Bubber band Sling Shotting
- Monorail sprints
- Pulley systems
Lastly, Henk discussed the role of external forces. Some athletes really respond well to competition, and all athletes will run more quickly with someone next to them. External pressure will always produce a greater effort than running alone.
I asked Henk about the injury profile of his athletes. I was aware of the following documentary, which discussed the role of overtraining and competition.
Henk was very familiar with the documentary, and even worked with some of the athletes featured herein. If you have not watched it, it is excellent!
To my surprise, Henk said that NONE of his athletes ever missed a performance from injury. He had a very low injury profile for his athletes.
This is very likely from his firm belief in training not as much as possible, but as little as possible to get the desired outcome. In his opinion, more harm comes from overtraining, or inappropriate training. He gave one example of an athlete who he took from 25 hours of training per week, down to 8 hours of training. They trained 5 days a week, and had a pb in their first performance which was a bronze medal in the world championships. They wanted to increase their training. Can I do 6 days Henk? What about some endurance work after training.
The answer: absolutely not. An extra day of training at that level would increase their workload by 20%. It also DECREASES recovery time, which Henk finds essential. And, again, the results and improvements certainly dictate that Henk knows what he is doing.
All and all, I was most impressed with Henk. I hope to meet him again. And for the powerful, explosive athletes, I will certainly borrow teh concepts from his lecture today.

A controversial application to build 31 new houses in Buxton has been refused by the council.
High Peak Borough Council unanimously voted against the proposed development on land of Macclesfield Old Road, Buxton, at a meeting on Monday.
The scheme – which proposed nine 'affordable homes' – received 72 letters of objection from nearby residents, as well as from Buxton Civic Society.
Mr Salt, a resident who spoke at the meeting on behalf of the objectors, said the proposed development would have a "disastrous impact" on the landscape if approved.
He said that the site was home to extremely old and protected trees, as well as to a whole host of wildlife – some of which are protected species – which would be put at risk if the plans went ahead.
Many residents – who specifically moved to the area to be in the countryside – objected on the grounds they "did not expect to be part of a budget housing estate in the country".
There were also concerns that roads and schools would not be able to cope with the increased numbers of people moving to the area, among many other things.
Planning officers recommended refusal on the grounds that "the proposals would result in a loss of open countryside" which would be a "prominent encroachment" into the Peak District, beyond the Buxton boundary.
Officers also recommended refusal on the grounds that the driveway to the development would cause "serious risk to the future health and retention" of a group of mature trees, which are currently protected by a Tree Preservation Order.
The development proposed removing 11 trees. But surveys found that those remaining would be put at risk due to pressure on the roots.
Cllr Kappes said: "I don't believe this [location] is a good place to build houses."
Cllr Thrane added: "Any development there would have a disastrous effect on the trees."
Members of the council unanimously voted against the proposals, which had been submitted by Homes North West.
Once the decision had been taken, a round-of-applause sounded from members of the public, who were relieved that the application had been refused.
The public gallery was almost completely full ahead of the meeting, the majority of which were there to hear the decision specifically on these proposals.

Weird sadness in the air yesterday. I suspect a town elder passed away. It feels like dozens of people are grieving nearby. That felt distracting all day.
I also fidgeted with myself about being unproductive even though I puttered at some housework, gathered photos to post my travels on October, read the end of Wyndham's "The Kraken Wakes" and all of "The Chrysalids", started H. R. Haggard's "Treasure of the Lake", ate healthy food in reasonable proportions, had a pretty fire in the fireplace, worked on training to dogs to accept the new cat, did a smidgen of calligraphy, topped off the tub, food/water/pooped/medicated the dogs and cats, and reorganized the cat/dog boundaries and furniture to help the new girl (Hex) be more comfortable. I chose active mental pastimes, left the TV off, and minimized the silly brain-sucking portions of social media. Contacting friends is good; reading the Top Ten Reasons Why: Your Dog Has Five Toes in Front and Four in Back, Your Clothes Wear Out, Your Shelves Get Dusty, You Feel Sick When You Only Eat Candy, Blah Blah Blah for 87 hours is bad.
Feeling new chapters of "Ouroboros" forming. May go get a hand truck and dog food, load the trailer with crap for the community clean up (old water heater, three toilets I don't need, rotten lumber I've pulled off the house), and write. I always feel happy and productive when I'm writing. This is only a drag when I consider my bank account.
Thinking through a safe ride to California and a happy time helping my dad for two weeks. He won't use a walker, can't stand up without falling over, and is twice as big as anybody else in the family. Mom needs a break, I am not reporting to a job, and I totally love hanging out with Daddy even when circumstances are uncomfortable. It's going to be fun.

CLAMP Ministry needed to be able to update and maintain their site without technical knowledge. They contacted me, asking if I could build a site from their already-designed pages. I took their Illustrator files and turned them into this site. It uses a custom PHP framework and the PageLime CMS for easy updating. They also wanted to have the ability to upload photos of recent projects, so I included a photo album functionality.
Tag Archives: cms
Faith Baptist Church
Faith Baptist Church contacted me about redesigning their website. They wanted something simple that they could maintain without technical coding knowledge.
I was able to develop a new site for them, based on a custom PHP framework and MySQL database, as well as the PageLime CMS, so church staff could easily maintain the site. It also uses Google Calendar for easy updating, as well as my sermon plugin, which pulls all the relevant information from the filename of an MP3 file, allowing the soundboard crew to upload the file and be done with it.
I also integrated their missionaries database with Google Maps, allowing visitors to see where missionaries serve.
Calvary Baptist Church
Calvary had been using Microsoft FrontPage to create and edit their site, but nobody was keeping up with it. It needed to be redesigned and rebuilt from scratch. After taking inventory and suggesting a brand-new structure for the information they had and needed, I designed a new site based on a custom PHP framework and MySQL, along with the PageLime CMS, to allow non-technical staff to easily edit and update the site.
Google Calendar is the information source for the calendar page, allowing easy editing. The sermons section automatically shows all the information from the filename of an MP3 file, allowing the soundboard crew to upload the file and forget about it.
Calvary also had a password-protected members' section on the old site, and they wanted to keep that functionality. I built a password-protected section, with two different levels of access, determined individually by the staff for each member. This allowed church members to have full access, while connected visitors could still see photos.
All this was completed in the last two weeks of my time in Elkins Park.

Deaths confirmed by the NYS Gaming Commission:
5-year-old Cinder Block broke a leg ("went wrong," says Equibase) in the 2nd yesterday at Belmont. The "claim" (sale), by the way, was voided. Death will do that.
A yet-to-be-named 2-year-old was felled training last Saturday at Finger Lakes. Another child sacrificed for $2 bets.
A "pony horse" named Willy was euthanized Tuesday in his Belmont stall after being "treated for colic without improvement." Sad life, sad end.

In the last few days of Indian Summer in Seattle, Hana and I knew we had to get in one good pack-trip before I had to leave for work. The previous day, we had been down to the waterfront, and the Olympics stood in dark green contrast to the blue Puget Sound. Yep. That'll do. We threw together gear for a quick mid-week weekender, and cruised over to the Olympic Peninsula.
If you haven't been to the Olympics, you are missing out. Craggy mountain peaks, ice-blue glaciers, dripping rainforests, and ocean beaches are all in abundance on this most northwesterly corner of the contiguous United States. The Olympic National Park is a wonder unto itself, with 5 specific wilderness areas, and an epic-ly unbroken section of rugged Pacific coastline. Truly, this is the Pacific Northwest in full glory–salmon runs, bears snacking on huckleberry, Roosevelt elk bugling in the mist–it doesn't get much better. If you decide to go, make sure you check out the National Park website, and make your reservations with the Wilderness Information Centers around the Peninsula–I promised the very kind ranger who helped us out with the reservations to push this REQUIREMENT!
We read about various trails in a ragged old issue of Backpacker we brought with us as we cross the country. In it, there were several wonderful looking hikes, but we chose the best line–the High Divide Trail. Starting from the Sol Duc Hot Springs, the High Divide wanders far back the drainage, through miles of cedars and firs, tracing the path of the
Sol Duc as it thunders away down the valley (hikers also can complete the route counter-clockwise, with an intense climb up to Deer Lake), climbs up to the ridgeline separating the Seven Lakes Basin and the Hoh River Valley, drops down to the peaceful Deer Lake, and loops back to the trailhead. Because of our poor logistics–repeat: reservations required!–we camped the first night at Sol Duc Campsite, somewhat near the Sol Duc Hot Springs Resort. The campsite at Sol Duc is a mix between RV campers and some very quiet, secluded, walk-in spots. The next day, we drove to the Sol Duc trailhead, and started off on our clock-wise journey through the Olympics.
Multiple guides state that the High Divide is the most trafficked hike in the Wilderness Area of the Olympics–this may be true, but for good reason. The High Divide features sublime vistas, aquamarine lakes, crowds of wildflowers, haunting forest, crashing waterfalls, and panoramas of Mount Olympus that will steal your breath away. We planned the three-day hike over the weekend, but only found the trail crowded near the high point, Bogachiel Peak. This was likely due to a confluence of trails that come together around the Seven Lakes Basin, which is about the mid-point of the High Divide. For the most part, Hana and I hiked in relative solace, perhaps because of the lateness of the season. But the incredible weather held, and all of those who shrugged off the Olympics on the chance of getting rained out missed an amazing weekend.
The trail led us for around 2 miles to Sol Duc Falls, where the river's walls narrow and create a 50-foot slot waterfall. The view both up- and downstream were pristine, and we appreciated this nice warm-up before the real hiking began. At this point, we turned onto the Appleton Pass and Sol Duc Park trail, following the path through run-off streams and under the ancient firs, hemlock, and cedars. The light filtered through the canopy, and the sound of the Sol Duc to our south kept us company as we hiked the 5 miles to the Appleton Pass junction. We enjoyed a summer sausage sandwich, which was a great idea from Hana's earlier hike in the Maroon Bells, then prepped to climb out of the drainage. We crossed the Seven Mile Bridge (a "foot log") and started burning quads as we climbed. A steep tributary of the Sol Duc, Bridge Creek, fell away to the left (east), and the old-growth forest fell away as we transitioned into the not-quite-sub-alpine forest and meadows near Sol Duc Park.
We were a little confused as to exactly where was Sol Duc Park, as this was our first time in the Olympics, and we weren't familiar with the quite obvious signposts that alert the hiker to the campsite. Thus, we kept hiking with that feeling of, "I hope we haven't missed it!" When we finally arrived, we were the first hikers there, and had our choice of great sites. The best site was located on a small bend in
the creek that created an almost island underneath a stand of cedars. To our south, a small waterfall splashed into a blue pool, and a field of wildflowers spread out below the peaks that towered above the meadow of Sol Duc Park. We cooked dinner and enjoyed a cedar-scented beautiful evening, soundtrack courtesy of the waterfall and creek.
The next day, Hana started a little early as I broke the rest of our camp. I caught up with her as we rose into the true sub-alpine zone, and we both enjoyed our first spotting of mega-fauna to our west–it was a black bear munching on huckleberries on the south-facing slope. He was about a half-mile away, but it was still pretty cool to see a bear in the backcountry. Little did we know what the High Divide had in store for us further down the trail.
As we climbed up, the views back down the trail were simply amazing. A few isolated campsites were perfectly perched to take advantage of the vista, and when we hike this again,we are definitely scooping one of these sites. Heart Lake came into view before our last rise, a pool of blue-green water shaped like…a heart, of course! As we climbed above Heart Lake, the Cat Basin peaks rose black and blue against the sky. And, through the few firs on the ridge, we caught our first glimpse of Mount Olympus–as we passed onto the real High Divide section, the mountain dominated the skyline. We could clearly see the Blue and White Glaciers as they inched their way off the snowfields near the summit. The Hoh River Valley fell away to our south, and behind us, one last slope obscured the Seven Lakes Basin–one last slope with yet another bear in hyperphagia, eating as many berries as he could before the winter finally set in. We could hear the Roosevelt elks bugling in the forest–it was truly a magnificent experience. It only got better as we passed the last slope and the Seven Lakes Basin opened up below us to the north, a mix of rock and meadow, dotted with dark blue lakes (many more than seven!) glittering in the sunshine.
Passing perfect panorama point after point of Mount Olympus, we came to a little outcrop over a small pond on the south side. As we rested there, the bugling continued until a whole herd of elks emerged from the trees below, and moved through the pond and back down the mountain-side. It was our own private herd for those few moments.
We continued down the trail to a false summit pyramid of rocks that overlooked Seven Lakes Basin. On some of the slabs we ate lunch, enjoying the massive open views of Mount Olympus. We met a few other hikers–some folks who had just done an interesting cross-country from Appleton over to Cat Basin, some hippies in sandals, and the volunteer ranger (whose job I covet!) After a bit of relaxation and fooling around on the rocks, we shouldered our packs and made for Bogachiel Peak. We ended up following a game trail along the side of the ridge, and eventually crested onto the summit. The view wasn't quite as splendid as at the false summit, and there were scores of hikers there, so we quickly departed, meeting back up with the High Divide Trail on the Hoh River side.
After this came the "Magic Mile," a mile plus stretch of epic views of Olympus, the
Bogachiel drainage, and the rock faces cutting off the Seven Lakes Basin. Along the path grew an assortment of wildflowers–lupine, Indian paintbrush,douglasia, phlox, and violets, to name a few. The colors were outstanding, and as we turned into the last stretch of the mile, the High Divide had one more surprise for us…Two black bears were munching on huckleberries right on the trail! Eventually, they moved about 50 feet or so off the trail, and we walked right by them–making sure to speak loudly and let them know we were there. They were much more interested in the delicious huckleberries than hikers, so there was no drama.
After the Magical Mile, we started descending again, and passing hikers told us there was one more bear on the trail. We missed him, but another group said they had seen him run off as we neared. We eventually spotted him while looking back, right before he disappeared into the brush. We crossed another field of lupine and some late-late-summer snow, and came to our final ridge, near the Snake Cedar. Hana spotted yet another bruin in the bowl down into which we would descend. We rested on that final ridge before a knee-rattling drop down almost all the way to Deer Lake.
Deer Lake's best site had already been nabbed, and we scoured around the lakeside before settling on a nice site overlooking the lake. We cooked dinner right on the lake shore, and had very little mosquito trouble. Our camp stove fuel ran out (good timing? Minus the fact of zero coffee in the morning!) and we enjoyed the cool evening, watching a flyfisherman cast, and a lone duck cruising the still waters.
We woke early and broke camp, shouldering packs for the final descent back to Sol Duc Falls. Very quickly, we were back in the tall forest, this time on the wetter north facing-slope. We passed some trail volunteers, and crashed through the wet runoff on the trail. Eventually, we made one last turn and arrived at Sol Duc Falls, which we had been a constant companion in the last mile or so. We asked a very reluctant hiker to take our picture, and then booked the last two miles to the trailhead to complete our loop. High Divide Trail–check!
One of the amazing benefits of hiking the High Divide are the hot springs located near the trailhead at Sol Duc Hot Springs. It was a perfect way to end the hike–relaxing in the 100+° mineral water with a strange assortment of Russians and Germans. We celebrated with some local brews from the Northwest, watching the magpies swoop and steal lunches from the unwary. Before we were too lulled by the warm water and cold beer, we had to bid goodbye to the Olympics, and drove out to catch the ferry back to Seattle. It was an amazing trip with my best girl, and I can't wait to get back. The High Divide is one of the most beautiful trails I have ever had the pleasure to hike, and I feel privileged to have hiked it with my awesome Hana. Five stars and two thumbs up!

Information on this website is posted for historical reference only. Please visit the Office of the Registrar for current requirements.
Tuition of ten thousand ninety-three dollars ($10,093) per term is charged each student for instruction, instructional facilities, and other services. Although this tuition charge covers the normal three-course load, students may, without permission or extra charge, elect a fourth course during each of three terms during their college career. An additional course will entail a supplementary charge of three thousand three hundred sixty-four dollars ($3,364). Students should consult the Student Handbook and pages 100 and 102 of this bulletin for details of the regu-lations concerning extra courses. Students taking a two-course load receive no reduction in tuition.
The Trustees believe that all Dartmouth students should appreciate that the tuition charge covers about one half of the cost to the College of each student's education at Dartmouth. For the remainder, he or she is the beneficiary of endow-ments received during the last two centuries from those who wish to support Dart-mouth's kind of education, from current gifts, and especially from the very generous support of the Dartmouth Alumni Fund.
Tuition charges listed above apply to the fall, winter, and spring terms of the aca-demic year 2004-2005. Charges for the summer term of 2005-2006 will be announced at a later date.
Students who must take reduced course loads because of severe documented, verified disabilities, and who consequently need to be enrolled at Dartmouth for more than the normal number of terms in order to graduate, may be eligible for reduced tuition. The tuition reduction is intended for students whose medical cir-cumstances are unusually severe and/or chronic. Permission from the Registrar for reduced course load is not sufficient grounds for tuition reduction. Petitions must be approved prior to the beginning of the term for which tuition reduction is requested. If a disabled student who has been granted tuition reduction takes a nor-mal course load, the student must repetition for reduced tuition. In some cases, eli-gibility may be reviewed if the medical condition improves significantly. For full information, inquiries should be sent to the Student Disabilities Coordinator, Aca-demic Skills Center.
Students living in College residence halls are charged rents that vary depending on the quarters occupied. These rents average $1,800 per term for the 2004-2005 academic year. If College property is damaged, those found responsible are charged for the required repairs.
All students are required to purchase a nonrefundable, declining balance account (DBA). All first-year students will pay $1,025 for the fall term meal plan. This plan has an incentive of $50 free dining dollars, for a total value of $1,075 and a total cost of $1,025. For winter and spring terms, first-year students will choose from one of the four plans available for on-campus students.
On-campus students, excepting fall term first-year students, will choose from one of four plans:
(1) A $675 per term nonrefundable DBA with an added $50 service fee (total cost - $725).
(2) An $900 per term nonrefundable DBA with no additional service fee (total cost - $900).
(3) A $1,100 per term nonrefundable DBA with an incentive of $75 free dining dollars (total cost - $1025).
(4) A $1,350 per term nonrefundable DBA with an incentive of $150 free dining dollars (total cost - $1,200).
Additionally, Dining Services will offer to off campus students only a fifth option:
(5) A $400 per term nonrefundable DBA with an added $100 service fee (total cost - $500).
Any student not specifying their choice by the predetermined date will default to the $900 plan (2 above).
Room and board charges are billed to students through their College account. Payment is due by the date indicated on the student account statement subject to a late charge if the payment deadline is not met. Please refer to regulations cover-ing payment of student charges (page 129) for information regarding assessment of late charges.
Room and board charges listed above apply to the fall, winter, and spring terms of the academic year 2004-2005. Charges for the summer term of 2005 will be announced at a later date.
All first-year and transfer students are charged for the required purchase of a basic package of computing equipment to be used in their education, unless granted a waiver by the Director of Computing. Ownership of adequate computing equipment would justify such a waiver. Purchase of computing equipment in addi-tion to the basic package is at the option of the student.
At the beginning of their first year students will be assessed a one-time charge of twenty dollars ($20). Funds collected from these charges will be made available to that class council over the four years that class will be in attendance at the Col-lege.
In their first term of enrollment each undergraduate will be assessed a one time document fee of $90. This fee will entitle the student to an unlimited number of official transcripts. Additionally, the fee will cover the opening of a credential file, sending of credential files, registration for on campus recruiting opportunities, vocational testing and interpretation, and various booklets in the Career Services Office. This fee covers the above services while in attendance at the college and post attendance it covers unlimited transcripts and the opening and sending of credential files.
The fee is not intended to cover the costs associated with mailing of rush orders. There may be fees associated with additional services provided by Career Services after graduation.
All undergraduate students are assessed a $62 Student Activities fee for each term in residence. Funds collected from these charges will be used to support the Student Assembly, other cocurricular organizations, and campus-wide cultural, educational, social, and athletic activities.
All students must purchase the Dartmouth Student Group Health Plan (DSGHP) unless granted a waiver by the Director, College Health Service. A nonrefundable annual fee of $1,360 will be billed to students (except those having a waiver). Optional plans are available at additional cost to provide insurance for dependents.
In limited circumstances supplemental fees may be assessed students enrolling in certain courses. Supplemental course fees must meet the standards detailed below to be processed on the student bill. Courses for which such fees will be lev-ied will be identified in any course descriptions published in this Bulletin or its supplements.
Special course fees must be recommended to the Executive Vice President by the responsible faculty Dean, and generally will be approved only when the following three criteria are met:
1. The fee must be required of each member of the class,
2. The fee must be the same for each class member, and
3. The services or goods related to the fee must be warranted by special circum-stances and not be readily available from local vendors.
Students will be notified of actual fee amounts no later than the first week of class.
As of Fall 2001 the following miscellaneous fees and penalties are commonly applied:
A penalty of fifty dollars ($50) is imposed on any student who fails to check- in by the prescribed deadline at the opening of any term (page 102).
A processing fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) is charged for each term of trans-fer work (pages 110).
A separate charge will be assessed for late payment of any student account bill. Payment is due and payable not later than the due date indicated on the billing statement. If payment is not made by the specified due date a late charge equal to 1.5% of the amount payable will be assessed.
A charge of twenty-five dollars ($25) will be assessed when a personal check is offered in payment of charges on a student's account and the check is not hon-ored.
Fines and penalty fees may be assessed to students for various rule infractions and violations of policy. With due notification penalty fees and fines may be charged to the student's Administrative Fees and Fines Account. Failure to pay such fines or penalties may prevent a student's registration or release of transcripts or a diploma.
The Executive Vice President shall review and in consultation with the Student Assembly and Graduate Student Council approve all student fines and penalty fees that may be assessed. Student fines shall be consistently applied within the Dartmouth Community and will be approved only when the following criteria are met:
The amount of the fine or assessment must be reasonably related to the costs and/or seriousness of the infraction or violation of policy.
Revenue realized from the assessment of penalty fees and fines will be recorded to a general revenue account of the College. Generally, such revenue may not accrue to the department that assesses the fine.
Administrative costs associated with assessing and posting fines, hearing appeals, and collecting payments can be substantial, accordingly, alternative means to ensure compliance with rules and regulations must be considered before a penalty fee or fine will be approved.
Once the Executive Vice President has approved a penalty fee or fine, the following requirements or procedures must be met:
All rule infractions and violations of policy which will result in the assessment of a fine or penalty fee, must be identified in the Student Handbook and appropriate College or departmental materials and mailings. Specific reference shall be made in the Student Handbook that fines and penalty fees may be appealed.
Departmental materials shall include the amount of the fine, a statement of purpose, the circumstances under which penalty fees or fines are assessed, and the consequences of noncompliance.
Departments must publicize in their materials and mailings or by other means that an appeals process exists for students or parents who believe that their individual circumstances warrant an exception to assessment of the penalty fee or fine. Specific information should be available in connection with the handling of appeals and appeals must be heard and resolved within a timely manner.
Students who commit rule infractions subject to a fine or penalty must be notified that a violation has occurred and that a charge is being assessed. If a fine is caused by the student's failure to meet a published deadline, notification of the fee is not required.
Fines and penalty assessments must be submitted to the Dartmouth Card Office within 30 days of the date the violation has been confirmed. Fees and fines may not be charged to a student's administrative account once the 30-day period has lapsed or the student is no longer enrolled because of graduation or withdrawal from the College. In cases where fees are assessed to reimburse the College for actual costs of damages, fines must be submitted to the Dartmouth Card Office as soon as possible after final costs have been determined, but no longer that 30 days. Note: departments and offices may not receive or deposit direct payments from students for fines or penalty fees. They must be submitted to the Dartmouth Card Office.
If it is determined that a fine has been assessed incorrectly or waiver of the pen-alty fee has been approved as a result of the appeals process, the appropriate credit must be expeditiously applied to the student's Administrative Fees and Fines account.
Students who change their enrollment patterns for a particular term less than five weeks from the start of the previous term create significant problems within the College. After careful consideration, the following regulations have been adopted. The charges imposed partially compensate the College for the very real costs con-nected with late changes.
1. Normally the final date for changing the pattern letter for any term shall be five weeks from the start of the preceding term. Any student who changes after that date from an 'R' (Resident Enrollment) will be charged one hundred dollars ($100).
A student may petition for waiver of the charges via the Office of the Registrar in the case of extenuating circumstances. Such is normally granted only in instances where the extenuating circumstances could not have been anticipated prior to the deadlines, and were beyond the control of the student.
2. Any student who fails to check-in for a term, while still maintaining an 'R' through the end of the ten-day period designated for late registration, will be charged two hundred dollars ($200).
Billing statements for tuition, room, and board are mailed approximately six weeks before the beginning of each term. Payment is due 25 days after mailing of the bill; the exact date will be indicated on the statement. If payment is not made by the specified due date, a late charge equal to 1.5% of the amount payable will be assessed.
No student will be permitted to enroll for any term unless the total amount due, including tuition, room rent, and applicable board charges has been paid in full.
The flexibility of the Dartmouth Plan makes it possible for an upperclass stu-dent, through a change in term patterns, to incur a tuition charge or other charges after statements have been mailed. In such instances, since tuition, room charges, and dining plan charges are fixed or determined prior to the start of the term, the student must pay these charges by the payment deadline established even though a statement reflecting the charges may not have been received.
All students enrolled at the College have an account in their name through which tuition, room and board, and other costs of attendance are billed. Periodic billing statements reflecting charges and credits posted to this account are mailed directly to the student's home address. If it is required or preferable that the bill be mailed to an alternate address, a written request for change of the billing address should be sent to the Student Financial Services Office.
Financial aid awards which have been confirmed and documented, but not posted to the student's bill, can be considered as anticipated credits in calculating the balance due. All necessary steps for processing such awards must be met before they will be accepted as deductions.
No transcript of a student's record will be issued until all College bills have been paid, nor will a senior receive a diploma until all College and community financial commitments have been met. In instances where a student's account becomes delinquent through flagrant neglect, the student may be subject to disciplinary action. In such cases no credit will be allowed for the work of terms to which the unpaid charges relate until all overdue charges are paid in full.
In those instances where a personal check is offered in payment of charges on a student's account and the check is not honored, a charge of twenty-five dollars ($25) will be assessed. If the returned check was the means of meeting a payment or registration deadline, the deadline will not be considered met and the appropri-ate penalties relating to failure to meet the deadline may be assessed. The College reserves the right to demand payment by money order, certified check, or other mode of payment acceptable to the College in instances of repeated offenders. Additionally, flagrant or habitual offenders may be subject to disciplinary action.
The Dartmouth Monthly Payment Plan, administered by Academic Manage-ment Services, provides students and their families the means to pay all or part of their expenses in ten interest-free installments. There is a $60 annual enrollment fee, which includes life insurance for the bill payer. The plan begins with the June 1 payment, and families should enroll prior to June 1 in order to meet the College's payment schedule. The enrollment deadline is August 27, 2004.
The College policy on refunds for students withdrawing from the College, whether voluntarily or by dismissal, is set forth below.
Tuition:Refunds for students who withdraw after tuition has been paid, but prior to registration and the first day of classes, will be 100 percent of tuition. After the beginning of classes, refunds will be calculated as follows: a refund of 90 percent for withdrawal during the first week of the term, a refund of 75 percent for withdrawal during the second and third weeks of the term, a refund of 50 percent for withdrawal during the fourth week of the term, and a refund of 25 percent for withdrawal during the fifth week of the term. No refund will be made after the fifth week of the term.
Board: Refund shall be calculated on a pro rata basis for any student who withdraws voluntarily or who is dismissed from the College during the term.
Residence Hall Room Rents: The policy for residence hall room rent is identical to the tuition refund policy: 100% before classes begin; 90% during the first week; 75% during the second and third weeks; 50% during the fourth week; and 25% during the fifth week. There is no refund after the fifth week. This policy applies to all dormitory rooms and to room rents in College-owned fraternities and organizations. The effective date for the room rent refund will be the date upon which the student vacates the room and returns the room key.
Other Charges: Charges for computing equipment and for the Dartmouth Stu-dent Group Health Plan are nonrefundable. Other miscellaneous fees and charges, including student activity fees and class dues, are nonrefundable if the student withdraws after registration and the first day of classes.
The only exception to this policy will be for students receiving Title IV, HEA federal financial aid who are attending Dartmouth for the first time and who with-draw on or before the 60 percent point in time of their first term of enrollment. Refunds for these students will be calculated using the pro rata refund formula prescribed for these particular students by federal regulations. Please consult with your Financial Aid Office for particulars and examples.
In the case of a withdrawing student receiving Dartmouth scholarship assistance or federal financial aid, the share of the refund returned to the student or family is dependent upon a number of factors. The amount of scholarship retained and/or the amount of repayment due to federal programs must be calculated in accor-dance with applicable regulations and formulas. Please consult with your Finan-cial Aid Office for particulars and examples.
Refunds, scholarship adjustments and repayments of federal funds are recorded to the student's account. All requests for student account refunds shall be submit-ted in writing to the Student Financial Services Office, and any balance due the student upon the making of such adjustments shall be paid to the student within 30 days.
In any instance where it is felt that individual circumstances may warrant exception to the Refund Policy, the student may appeal in writing to the Controller.
NOTE: For complete information regarding student life, and appropriate regulations, consult the Student Handbook.

US President George Bush decided Yasser Arafat must go after Israeli intelligence told him the Palestinian leader authorised a £13,000 payment to a group claiming one of last week's suicide bombings, it was reported yesterday.
Bush's call for Arafat's removal raised questions about whether the US can work with Arafat in the future.
The New York Times said officials lost faith in Arafat after receiving "new information" that he had authorised the payment to the al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, an offshoot of his Fatah faction. Al Aqsa claimed responsibility for one of the two suicide attacks last week that killed 26 Israelis in Jerusalem.
US officials had previously accused Arafat of having links to terrorists.
The new intelligence about the £13,000 payment was handed over during or shortly after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's visit to Washington on June 10, a senior official said.
Another official said it showed Arafat "continued to play a double game" - expressing outrage at the bombings while allowing militant groups to flourish.
It led all senior officials to agree to the language in Bush's speech calling for his removal, he added.
"There was no point in issuing another call" for Arafat to rein in the bombers, a senior State Department official said.
"We had to change the dynamic."

I like to describe myself not as a food critic but rather a food enthusiast. That's because there's too much good stuff to eat out there that it's simply not worth my time or yours to dwell on the bad or the unremarkable. It's for the latter reasons that I never covered the Foundry on the Bayou in Thibodaux. At least until now.
The Foundry just never did it for me before. I was excited when it first opened, but the food was unfocused and a bit overpriced. When they later changed the menu, I just didn't care for anything I had there. Its one redeeming quality was the great bar upstairs with a patio overlooking Downtown Thibodaux and Bayou Lafourche. Part of me always wished that such a beautiful restaurant with such a perfect location had food to match.
Now, it does.
Seemingly out of nowhere, the Foundry has been reborn as a fantastic, upscale Italian restaurant. The interior is beautiful and perfectly suited for a date or a nice, celebratory dinner. The first thing you'll notice when you walk in is the massive bar, behind which they mix up quality cocktails. My wife Lindsay and I enjoyed negronis that balanced the bitter and sweet flavors to go down easy.
The menu is just small enough that each dish serves a purpose and gives you enough choice without overwhelming you with options. We started with the Escargot aux Champignons, garlicky snails stuffed into mushroom caps atop crostinis swimming in a rich, buttery sauce. We're a culture that eats "bugs" we dig out of muddy ditches by the pound (crawfish), so don't let the idea of snails somehow being gross dissuade you from enjoying this decadent appetizer.
We also had a cup of the house turtle soup spiked with a bit of sherry at the table and a Caesar salad before our entrees arrived. Lindsay had the Veal Sorrentina, pan seared and layered with prosciutto, eggplant, and mozzarella with a delicious mushroom marsala sauce. I had the Fish Capri, a sautéed filet generously topped with lump crab meat, crawfish, capers, artichokes, and a rich buerre blanc sauce.
For dessert, Budino, a glass of butterscotch custard topped with a thin layer of salted caramel and whipped cream. Dipping a spoon through the glass to get a cross section of the dessert, you first taste the sweet, soft butterscotch. But when the firmer caramel gets to your tongue, the taste of sea salt contrasts in such a way that it all balances out into a great dessert.
If I had one complaint, it was that the bread got to our table too late to soak up the rest of the sauce from the escargot before our waiter took the plate away. I even thought about asking for some but was thrown off by the complementary bruschetta that found its ways to our table earlier, mistaking it for the Foundry's over-the-top version of bread service. Nope, it was just a delicious amuse bouche. A first world problem if I ever had one.
I was concerned going into the meal, remembering my past experiences with the restaurant but also fretting over the price. When the menu was first shared online, it lacked any mention of prices, recalling the old adage "If you have to ask, you can't afford it." And yet, when we were seated, not only were the prices there on the menu, but they were quite affordable considering the quality of the menu. Obviously, food like this prepared so well will always cost more than the typical restaurants we're accustomed to, but for the occasional fancy night out, the Foundry is very well priced.
We look forward to returning, next time to the bar upstairs where the same new menu is served. I love the idea of making a meal out of the exciting appetizer options like the aforementioned escargots, fried green tomatoes with shrimp remoulade, and oyster trio. The cocktail menu and selection of draft beers is also impressive.
Meals like this satisfy more than my immediate appetite. Finding food like this at a beautiful local restaurant where it's clear everyone involved is focused on producing a quality experience is the reason I do this. It doesn't matter if it's a casual food truck or a five-star restaurant with a dress code, I live for food as good as what we enjoyed at the new and improved Foundry on the Bayou.

I have found it extremely difficult to figure out what Rhett's going to wear for our family pictures.. Since I am opting for shooting in a studio with more dressy outfits, it's hard to find much between casual wear and a full tuxedo for babies his size. As I've said in the past, I can find barely any outfit inspiration online so here I am today sharing what I've found that will hopefully work & maybe help if you're looking for ideas yourself! I'm wearing this dress, and I haven't decided exactly what Danny will wear..which is a whole 'nother problem in itself.
velour romper
plaid romper | cardigan | shoes
cream sweater | gingham shirt | jeans | shoes
white oxford | jeans | shoes | suspenders
shirt | jacket | pants | shoes
Originally, I thought I'd go the easiest way possible and use his velour romper and be done, but I'm not sure I like that look; it could easily look like pajamas. If we were going a little more casual, I'd do the second outfit with Rhett's new Mini Boden romper (thanks grammy!) but I think I'll save that outfit for Christmas. I could make the third outfit work with a few items he has and I think the purple would match well with my dress. Or I could make his outfit look similar to Danny's with the fourth option.. but it may be too plain? The fifth outfit is definitely the most dapper & Rhett would look so handsome, but it'd probably be best to use a few things we already own & it's none of that haha.
Well I guess now I need to go find Danny's outfit so we can see which of these matches best. And try it on Rhett.. which is neither easy or fun! Who knew getting our photos taken would be so damn difficult?! Now I know how it feels to be on the other side of it!
