-Let me splain something to you. You post my work in prices with the paper's name and mine and chunks of my work that you have altered. And they were more than a few. No, not your material, not yours to butcher and leave, Let me plain something else, as you noted yesterday most of the other news...

I think you might have hit the trifecta. Photos, What Is Invasion of Privacy? Publication of Private Facts | Digital Media Law Project That's what screen shots are for. They don't poof!

What if Someone took a Picture off my Facebook Profile and put it on Theirs? When you post a photograph on Facebook, the “Share” function implicitly gives permission to anyone who has access to the image to share it according to the settings of the site. If it’s a situation where somebody...

And you have one as well. Great screen shot here. But the photos you sent me from the Fb pages and such not yours, People posting your photos without permission? It's illegal Not so, according to attorney Smith. He said anytime you take someone else's photo from a social media page and...

Saying the papers are not allowed is a little different as in they are being censored, then not having a story. Papers? Can we see your papers? And why use their ink or paper when you have posted it here for free? And have the info. Anyone that reads this thread has the info and can pull the...

Please read my response above.

Posts like this one are why I take online fodder on any subject with a hefty dose of salt. I stood in the back of the media room almost turning blue, holding my breath, waiting to hear the shoe drop on which member you were alluding to during your speech. I have been the only press reporting...

My ancestors have fought on both sides of this issue. The younger generation..starting with me, just stopped putting that sheet up.

I came over here for a break damn it. But..nooooooooooooooooooo.

Thank you for sharing the Herald/Breeze's photo! :thanks: We love when people share our pics, but please give photo cred or a link back to the original. Thank you, Bob! https://www.facebook.com/276530294617/photos/a.10151937058469618.1073741833.276530294617/10152333101969618/?type=1&theater

And let's not forget that the county does not end in DeFuniak. Paxton and Freeport schools are part of the district as well. What I have seen is people don't show up til there is a big vote or issue. By that time most plans have been worked out to deal with whatever the issue is, and does not...

Well, I'll be there unless the wheels roll off my truck.

Did he not think they had video cameras? :scratch:

I did. :)

Oh, I need a vacay!

NEWS RELEASE Thanksgiving holidays begin with rash of car burglaries For Immediate Release November 20, 2012 The week leading into the Thanksgiving holiday started with a rash of car burglaries in South Walton. On November 18th and 19th, over 10 vehicles were ransacked by suspects. Victims in...

I'm also concerned about our tax collectors office if I read this correctly, Andy. I need to do more research, and call Mrs. Skipper and see what she has to say, but, I've been happy with their service to me, personally, and right now with what little I know, this doesn't quite pass the sniff...

I want to write an article and maybe even an editorial on this issue next week. Seems all this time we've been losing funds from cameras that can't read the raised design. The contract, if approved, according to the article I have attached will go to a private company as well. Is it just me or...

They've actually requested input on changing them back to evenings or late afternoons. They talked about it a few meetings back and Mark Davis opened the conversation on it.

Agenda for tomorrow's meeting- INVOCATION – F. LEDDON PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE AGENDA A REGULAR MEETING SCHOOL BOARD OF WALTON COUNTY, FLORIDA Tivoli Administrative Complex, 145 Park Street, Suite 3, DeFuniak Springs, FL 32435 Tuesday, November 13, 2012 9:00 A.M. Opening Agenda Items 1 - OPENING...

Florida is a fire at will state. But, I believe and others will know more about this than me, most teachers as long as they abide by their contract serve the length of their contract. Instead of being fired, I believe they call it not having your contract renewed in the new school year.

Sometimes, in my experience, HR directors or staff members deal with health care, absences, vacation time, sick leave and such where paper work is concerned. When I worked for a private- non-profit many moons ago, if you had any of those items, you took it to HR. Supervisors also would go to HR...

Does Anderson do the firing or does the board have to approve a dismissal?

Miss Watson, I am very sorry for what you have gone through. Why do you think Trisha has not had any consequences for running against Mrs. Anderson or has something happened with her I am not aware of?

JP, I'm not aware of a lot of history of the new member. With the new member coming on, do you think the shift of power will change on the board or stay the same?

That would make for some very interesting news as well, JP! :)

I agree, IT, the timing and the fact no HR person was in the room are not positive for me personally. I'm going to try to get the skinny on all the employees that were moved that day and report what both sides are willing to speak on record about. I've worked in many different areas, offices...

Who decides the renewal? The SB or Anderson? And I know, I know what everyone says about the board rubber stamping request, but it's an honest question. I think you could probably tie donations by groups to someone they might want something from, from most of the political candidates. People...

I think from past meetings I covered way back in the day, the public not being privy to the movements of the Police at that time and now Sheriff's department were part of the reason for the change. And let me clarify when I say public. At a DFS City Hall meeting when Mike Adkinson was chief, it...

IT, please clarify. There was someone there when it all went down, but no witnesses. Just trying to understand how the information was shared if no one was there, but they were there. And I agree with having someone in the room. An HR person or other witness should have been present for a...

Very well said!

I included that quote in my last board article, J.P. I don't know if he can top his "horse hockey" comment at another meeting, though. :clap: I do believe the board is considering changing the meeting to another day or in the afternoon. If parents have a preference, now might be the time to let...

Too bad no one, even prior employees or unhappy parents, are willing to speak due to this fear. Maybe someone should write a book. If it sells they don't have to work there. I really do wish more parents or residents, if employees are too frightened, would step-up and voice their dissatisfaction...

Too bad public comments were zero this morning......

With all the discussion on schools, just wanted to post a link to the meeting agenda for this morning. You can open the normal packet or the board packet. :wave: http://www.walton.k12.fl.us/board/minutes/copy%20of%20Default.aspx

I live in DeFunn and had the joy of searching for a new homeowners policy this month. Ended up going with Citizens as it was actually almost 300 cheaper than my last policy with another agency that decided to not renew me. I added it up. I have paid out almost $32,000 in the last 15 years on my...

I'm happy to report anything of substance, Meggiemom. And when I say substance, I mean anything that people are willing to "go on record" with. I need people who are willing to speak with me and be quoted on the record. Same for school board meetings. I can only quote those that speak during the...

:wub: Thank you, Andy. That means a lot to me. Very nice of you to say. :wave: Ann, like Andy, I have had many teachers and mentors that have helped me along the way. I will forever be grateful for them as they helped me in ways that just a book or a test never could.

Awesome!

I love mine, but dang, those little cups get expensive is you're Olympic coffee people, like in my house. I have the fill yourself adapter, but it doesn't taste the same to me. Amazon.com has the best prices I've found for the cups. Going to try a different adapter and see how they work. This is...

I think this is the lab pup-

I heart you, Toots!

I couldn't imagine the stress that contract work brings to employees unless that is what they want. What would be necessary to change the position of superintendent from elected to hired? County charter? I'm not sure myself how well it would work, but I am always open to new lines of thought and...
